best way to launch at low rpms?
I want to find out how to launch my car without launching it off the 2 step, or without hurting my clutch or tranny. I can launch it at like 2-3k without it bogging and its a pretty smooth launch. any input would help
*edit
i went to the track and ran horrible, first couple of runs i ran like a low14's at 107mph but when i tried to launch it at like 5k, i slipped it but no traction at all couldnt get it into 2nd or 3rd felt like the clutch didnt wanna engage. >.<

It can't be done.
You either launch or you don't. Going from 2-3k, there are only 2 ways to be smooth: by being very slow or by slipping the living daylights out of the clutch.
You cannot actually get a good launch below 5k, and the lower you try, the more you have to slip the clutch, which wears it out very quickly. You can launch at high rpm without affecting the drivetrain, but it will still require clutch slippage. Pick your poison...
PS. You don't need to put cosmetics and miscellanoues objects like gauges, pods, and knobs in your sig.

not to be a mean about it, but i mean if you want to race the car or lanch it, and you dont want to hurt it. lol, dont race it then lol. just learn how to drive and be good to it, and you will be able to launch it all day and nothing will happen, i know for me i must of ad over 100 lanchs and 40k miles on the stock clutch till the clutch started to slip. so with the right driving you wont hurt a thing. also i was get 1.56 60 ft on stock clutch.
but ya lunch from 2-3 is like coming out of a light almost, so if you doing that just bog it and floor it like you do on the street some times lol.
i know i lunch car and boged it and got a 1.55 60 ft so who knows.
good luck taking off at 2-3 at track.. i think will brake more that way then just normal way.
