I had the same issue, My limiter killed any launch I could get. And when I tried to launch the clutch simply did not hold (cold car from sitting in the pits for 2 hours ).


Hey John I have your map I was just wondering he best way to upload it? Thanks.

Yeah but with a 1.7 60ft. My 1.9 is only .1 second behind yours in the quarter. With a 1.7 I should be around a 13 flat. So whose car is faster again (stock)? .

P.S. I almost forgot you had the limiter disconnected also

Would an "ice cold" clutch have issues holding properly?

I went 13.1 stock with the stock 5k limiter So I guess mine is


But seriously, that's not too bad. I also came from an SRT-4 and launching an AWD is not as easy as it looks.

No but I did expect at least a 13.0-13.2. My launch was horrible though.

Hey, you didn't do that bad, my first time with 450miles I went a 13.9@99, NOW after 2 months of Practice, and MUCH better Launching I trimmed it to a 13.09@105.50 here's the link to my Thread on it:

You didn't do bad. As was mentioned, there is no substitute for seat time.
When I was getting 2.0 60' times, I couldn't get better than 12.9.
Now, with a decent clutch and lots a practice, I get 1.6-1.7 and my time is down to 12.35.
It seems that every .1 you can get out of your 60' equates to like .3 at the other end. Maybe more.

Yeah I definately need more seat time, being that when I went my evo only had a tad over 900miles on it, and was only my second time really launching the car. I'm going to be heading down again soon, anybody care to join? We can meet up and head down together.
