so i launched for the first time in my evo 8
So basically, i got the car recently and im pretty sure it was a drag car but brought back down too stock before resale. I didnt know the car had launch control untill i got bored in a parkig structure late at night. It was limited at 5000 rpms and i thought that was perfect for launch. Next week (today) i was with my friends and they said "launch it ***** you wont" and i decided id launch it since i launched once but at around 4000-4500 rpms pretty well (atleast for me). Anyways i launched today, the passanger and i felt some type of tire spin from back some how, then launch. The people out side said they saw a little bit of smoke out the back. My question is, did i **** my rear diff or just tire smoke ?
thank you for reading. Thanks guys. Also how will i know i launched perfectly

Did you dump or slip the clutch? That smoke could be from your trans (burning clutch specifically), spinning tires (which I wasn't able to do on a stock tune, I can do it no problem now at 5k rpm at 300+ whp), or possibly your diff which I doubt. Also if you're running rich it could have possibly been a blast of black smoke out of the exhaust.

[QUOTE=bboypuertoroc;11740073]Your car has "launch control" from the factory (known as stationary rev limit). Doesn't mean it was previously a drag car. Just FYI.[/QUOTE
Ty for enlightening me man, still pretty ignorant on this subject, just trying too learn more.
