All right guys, this is going to sound noobish, but I need the CORRECT way to do a 2 step launch. My car was tuned at AMS on the AEM EMS (wow alot of letters) and it is set up for it, but I can never get it to work. Right now the car make 546 awhp, and 506 torque with a Peakboost gt30R kit, snow performance methanol, buddy club 264/272 cams, Trust t1-r exhaust and 31 psi, stock block, stock head, minus cams, and ARP head studs.

 

You might just need to enable it in the AEM pro software. Set it off the clutch switch is what I did. Try the AEM sections of the forums also.

 

If it IS enabled in your EMS then:

Come to a complete stop
Clutch in
First gear
Full throttle -- should build around 10+psi
Quick slip of the clutch/launch the car - hold on and be ready for 2nd gear.

Good luck and DON'T DROP THE CLUTCH

 

yeah what he said. lol^^^^ oh, btw . put that gas pedal to the floor. cuz it should engage even if you are about 3/4 of the way down. but its a different feel on the take off if its to the floor. good luck

 

So you slip the clutch and when car is moving a little bit than dump the clutch correct?
Just making sure i am doing it right

 

i wouldnt dump it...ur asking for trouble

 

even after the car is moving?

 

I dump my clutch when i drag and its holding up just fine. Probably draged at least 15 times this year. The stock lines have a restricter pill in it.

Need to get some drag radials though tires spin off the line even when changing stationary limit. Cant find happy mediem

 

cool. I thought i was doing it right.
i dumped it after car moved like 2 feet

 

Your fine unless you start getting alot of wheel hop!!

 

I do get alot of wheel spin yes

 

wheel spin and wheel hop are different

 

thanks for all the help

 

This entire action has to take only a fraction of a sec once begun so it is very close to dropping it but not quite.

 

One more question.

Am i the only one getting well into 5th gear on the 1/4mile?
it looks like most evo's end the run on the 4th. There isno way i could end mine on the 4th, something wrong with my stock tranny? I got stock MR tranny.
