UTEC Launch Control Question

Hello I recently converted over to a MSD-2 ignition system. I loved how the UTEC launch control worked but unfortunally I don't have any logs to see how it really worked. Can some please provide me logs to see the fuel and ignition values. I am currently getting about 6-8psi with my setup with no ignition retard. If I retard the ignition a few degrees I get about 12psi. My goal is to setup a "poor mans" anti-lag system

Here is a clip of the car running the launch control with no ignition retard:

Here are some pictures for those interested on how it looks:

turn your launch control on and let it bounce off the 5k rev limiter. I just want to see how much timing they are using.

If you have the capability I would start around 10 degrees AFTER top dead center... or -10 degrees depending on how you look at it. That should give you good bursts out the back of the car and full spool a decent size turbo within a few seconds.

To bring a thread back from the dead....

I noticed in the vid that the a/f went really lean during launch control. I was playing around with mine tonight in the garage, and it did the same thing, went up to 25:1.

My question, if you use the ignition cut (vs. fuel cut) for launch control, shouldn't it run rich when you're bouncing off the launch control rev. limite??? I used ignition cut, but I'm not sure what joeymia used in the video, it's not stated in this thread.

Wow, this forum is dead....... the only posts you get are me asking newb questions and others trying to sell their utec. I'm always late to the party.
