05 5k rev limiter.
I just bought an 05 and i know that theres a rev limiter set at 5k. Even thou we cant launch past 5k, i like it because it builds boost while doing it, similar to a 2-step. I was looking at the boost gauge and it was bulding 7psi boost for lauching. I just thought i would share this with you guys.

it sucks for launching cause it is limiting revs by cutting fuel. if you lean on it all the way and launch during that split sec. it's in fuel cut, you will bog. if you catch it on that split sec it's not, it won't. i would either launch @ 4800 rpms or unplug the limiter and launch around 5500 rpms. the limiter sucks. Period.

107 drag launches off the limiter, stock clutch, 12.0 sec 1/4 mi. Limiter works for 1.70-1.72 60' times. Smart people leave it. If you want to replace your $1200 clutch at 4000-7000 miles and drag it, then unplug it. Ask warrtalon how his clutch has fared with it unplugged= ACT clutch now.

Off the limiter 100% throttle bring the clutch up a little until it grabs, then in a consistant steady fashion let out the clutch, but take a 0.50-0.75sec to make this motion. It feels like a two step process, one to touch and one to slip in a steady way. Dump will bog, Slip will burn. Consistancy is key. It took about 3 trips to the strip to "learn the motion". Track permitting, 1.72's are still attainable. 91.06mph in the 1/8th mile.

I also don't think disconnecting the limiter and launching with my method is the reason for my clutch going out. It was 100% my fault for doing 12 runs in one day with the last 3 within 5mins of each other. In the end, the clutch disk was not worn, but the PP and flywheel were mirrors...
