Ideas on the next upgrades/2 step launch

Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on this. Already have the e85 tune and the basic mods that go with that. Getting the cat back to complete the turbo back system, but what to get next? Clutch, exhaust mani,.......open to everyones opinion. also have a question on the two step launch. seems like i am hella burning out my clutch. i preload the clutch before i launch and i don't preload it too long by seems like i get some serious buring clutch smell. This normal?

Dont know about the clutch preloading but what "basic mods" do you have? What is basic to you may not be to others.

If you can distinctly smell burning clutch inside the vehicle, you're doing it wrong. The duration of a launch is very short...only whats necessary to get the car moving without bogging down out of boost. Takes practice LOTS of practice

Unless you were born with a gearshift in-hand

Basic mods is just the e85 tune, 1000 cc injectors, turbo housing, downpipe/test pipe, muse lower custom upper, tial vta. No cat back

I figured so, is it more of a rev up with the brake up and dump the clutch and floor it or keep my foot down so that it stays at 5500 rpm?

When you launch, you're inevitably going to slip the clutch. I'd say depending on the clutch you have, you're either gonna smell a bit of clutch or a bit of tire smoke!

Id go with bigger intercooler, buschur's street core is only 650 and rated for 900hp, cam gears and cams and a new tune obviously..
