Launching AWD
6000 rpm dump. Tires spin and no burnt clutch smell. Slipping method cost me bucks for a new clutch. Tires spinning are a good thing but if they don't spin new tranny or drivetrain parts are going to be punished. when you dump this high it appears that rpms drop into the power zone as the tires attempt to find traction. when they do grip boost is on and the dreaded bog is a bad memory. Was scared of this method but after doing it three times successfully after 4 attempts i am sold. will use it sparingly. More consistent than slipping technique and no more practice needed. Will use only when i really need it. Otherwise 2000 rpm clutch slips/drops and 0-60mph in 7 sec.
silencer ran a 13.1 so i think he knows what he's doing. it's not raw power. you won't get more power by flooring it. The car doesn't produce power until there is a strain on the engine and the turbo is pumping pressure through the intake. If the car is increasing in RPMs when you let off the clutch the engine is going to follow that momentum. At a lower RPM like 3 or 4 K in this car is about the right spot for a balance of strain and power. The engine is only going to go in one direction. Up. when you floor it and the engine suddenly is placed with a large strain it does boost quicker but then has to backtrack. The engine then has to slow down to match speed with the cutch and tires then the turbo kicks in when the engine goes back to an increase in RPMs. It would be like downshifting when you come to a corner on the street. The engine has no power, just strain. I haven't perfected it yet. My sweet spot may be a little higher then 3k. It depends on clutch release and timing on the Tach.
