I tried to launch my car today. Its not as easy as before I could cut 1.65 60ft on stock clutch.
Its either I slip the clutch and wheel spin or released it and it bogs down! I got the same clutch Exedty Twin HD. 2 step is set to 5900 boosting 12-14psi.

I agree.

My method is to rev up quickly but not all the way to the 2-step and let it fail just a hair then floor it up to the 2-step.

Before I learned that I would see as much as 20+counts when I would first hit the 2-step and if you launched during that you would feel the massive pull you are looking for.

when im reading this post,i pretty feel really bad,but honestly i did about i think more than 10 launches from 5000rpm and first 3 were not so good,cuz i didnt know exact how to release but now theyre excelent,i have to knock on the wood 3 times that i have no problems by know with the clutch or even with the transmision.i have an european model ...maybe they little bit different...i dont know,but i will reduce i think launching the car...
but i cant help myself when i see E92 BMW M3 NEXT TO ME or lambo supperleggara.at the moment i dont give a f.... about replacing the clutch or something else.
