Message Yes, I use the launch control off the line but I have the traction control off. I set it to launch between 3750-4000 rpm in the setup. I do slip the clutch, at that RPM I end up bogging down if I drop the clutch all at once. The 13.2 run I slipped it really good, the car felt strong off the line and just took off because I was able to slip the clutch w/no bogging off the line. My 60' are still better than before I had the traction control installed. Last year I dont think I broke 2.3 60'(normally 2.4 - 2.5), now I dont think I've hit anything above 2.3 so far this year. So it seems to help and its nice to be able to just hit the button and watch the rev limiter kick in at 3800rpm, one less thing to worry about while tryin to watch the tree.

: to tune my launch better... my 60' times haven't gone anywhere... still 2.4. did you slip your clutch or just sidestep it? i think it's really tough to nail down for me because my os giken clutch is such an "on/off" deal... even if i try to slip it, it ends up like as if i had dropped it anyways.

: i thought your previous runs were 2.3-2.4 and then with the tc on you got 2.2??? 2.1 on street tires is really good! i don't think i've ever heard of anyone else getting a 2.1 on normal street tires.

: : Most runs I end up between 2.1 - 2.3, I havent been able to improve much on those. If I can get that down (drag radials) I know high 12's will be possible.
: : Thanks,
