Evo moves when launch control engaged

So this morning going to work i was at a red light all alone so why not hit my launch control since i havent used it since my E85 tune! im at a dead stop clutch in, in first gear, i hit my launch limiter and everytime it hits the limiter my car slightly moves forward little by little each time it hits my disired RPM,as if my clutch is somehow engaging! i dont know if its that or something bigger. i called dev from Speed Element he told me to try adjusting the pedal so ima try that first. so my ? is what could it be , and has this happened to you?

i have a 05 evo 8 with a ACT HD 6 puck sprung, i never had this problem with launch control before my e85 tune ( maybe because of more power i ono!?)

Thanks guys!

i get the same thing, but mine moves from side to side more than it does forward. I would guess it is from the engine torque rocking my car seeing as how i have engine mounts.

It shouldnt move no matter how much power you are making. Try adjusting your clutch. You will have to loosen the adjustment to get it to where the car wont move

Your clutch is dragging. Re-adjust it. You will probably notice a bit better shifting as well. Good luck.
