Probably not

You will have to press a button to activate it

I hope this makes sense
The 2nd version is the one that I am familiar with from the Drag Bike scene.I always pondered adapting it to my car.

so with the first one, you are basically saying you hold the pedal yourself, when you want to go, take your foot off the clutch as fast as possible, and the mechanism will control the flow of the clutch for you, yes?

is the unit fully mechanical, or some elctrical components.

You are 100% correct on how the V1 unit works

The unit is a combination of adjustbale manual valve and electric solinoid

that sounds very good, i'm def interested in that over it holdin the pedal for you....i'm a little iffy when not in complete control over my car, thats why i hate public trans ...

you guys ever thought about incorporating a digital gauge, or maybe behind the knob you do supply it has numbers listed as a standard, and atleast when some testing is done for basic applications, like most people may have act hdss, intake exhaust. blah blah, have some people test to say ok around 5(number around dial) is a good place to start.....so we aren't slippin the hell out the clutch on the low setting, or bogging to higih.

The pricing on these is going to be $320, this is with the knob attached to the unit like the one I have pictured.

I have my order in for some already so anyone who is intertested just give us a call and I'll fill the orders as soon as they come in.

Also, George at ICS will have them the same time I will and as I said they are available through Doug's Dynopower in Vegas also.

ICS's number is 203-653-2394
Doug's Dynopower is 702-616-6081

Is $320 the price for the version 1? I think that is a pretty good price for repeatable launches. Retail price on a decent line lock kit is $150 just by itself. Add in the adjustable solenoid and extra bits and the oligopolist retail markup and the price sounds about right.
