My first test of Launch Control!

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with launch control. I cut multiple 1.6 60' foot times....my best being a 1.61 and this was done on all season continental tires!

I see right around 11psi. Its set right at the standard 6050 that Al sets it at. I couldn't believe I was cutting those 60's on such low grip tires

I have the ACT Street clutch. I slip the clutch about 3/4's of the way and then right at the end, I dump it.

Did you ever try this on a stock clutch? I did I got a hell of a launch but a bit of clutch smell. HAHA 11psi from a dead stop is maybe to much for the stocker.

With the launch control, if you floor the gas while holding the clutch in, does it stay at the set RPM??? Might be a stupid question but I thought I would ask anyway.

Yes, that's what launch control means - the revs stay at a set rpm with the pedal floored.
