so here a question along the same lines hopefully know ones minds i post it here, I have a 06 EVO IX Special Edition. Do they come with launch control on the ECU in stock form. what RPM does it launch at if it does?
I ask because i bought this EVO back in May it was already tuned to E85 and putting down 400awhp, and there was no launch control on it when i drove it away, I then had it re-tuned to pump gas due to lack of E85 stations in my area.
I recently had a launch tune set on my car. it is set a 5275rpm 8-9PSI. It launch awesome!!

In any event... the "stock" 2 step is at 5k rpm. My launches were fantastic from 5k rpm. The only reason my launch control is now set at 5825, is because I got the car tuned and the tuner suggested they've had more success with spinning the tires during the launch. ymmv.

You can change the setting to your 2 step by the rpm's with a laptop and a tactrix port. Yours was probably changed when the E85 tune was done. My EVO is pretty much stock and the 2 step is at 5k
Stock two step is set to 5500 RPM on a IX.
This I'm actually not positive about as I bought my car used. People have said that the "stock launch control" is set at 5k rpm. However... there's an abundance of people on here that sometimes don't think about their words and I'm not positive if they're meaning that the launch control comes stock, or once you activate it in the ECU it is setup at 5k rpm.

I hate that thread... you have to read through how many pages of people just shooting their mouth's off about what they think instead of just explaining how to do it. For the record though... I read through all of those pages at one point.

Like anything and a new car, takes practice! Just try not to slip it too much with the stock clutch, if your car has any kind of decent power over stock, the stock clutch wont last long if you are launching alot!
Oh and dont make Evo's look bad getting beat out of the whole by an RX8, thats almost as bad as a ricer civic smashing an Evo on launch! haha, gotta give you a hard time on that one! Go practice a few launches without racing anyone to get a feel for it! Good luck!
