Launch control is only good if you have a turbo to build boost. Otherwise it's a waste of the tuners time. Cobb isn't going to make a launch control map from what they are saying.

For autocrossers who do pro solo as well as drag racers, a 2-step launch control can take the guess work out of the launch. Just set the launch rpms for the surface, get up to the line and focus solely on nailing the tree.

If one could safely run a 2-step on an 13B-MSP, I'd definitely get it.

Just hold your RPM steady and drop the clutch, I know what launch control is, it just seems unnecessary unless you have a turbo so you can build boost.:dunno:

On a side note, the RX8 is not a drag car unless you've done some serious power adders to your ride.

It can be whatever you want, and I'm not saying don't do it. It's just not going to do very well. You want a car that's fast in a straight line with the RX8 your fighting an uphill battle. Good Luck.

I remember reading about I believe an AP or some other tuning on the RX-8 for the 2step. And the results weren't pretty. It *honkey*ed up the 8.

on a soide noite, you can be as slow as you want to be. Go by a v6 camry. You would be a half second faster.

I had a WOT box on my Turbo TC, Wide Open Throttle Box, it controlled launch aka 2 step and flatshifting meaning you could shift without releasing the gas pedal because the box would delay for a split second to make the shift safely.....

I used it to build boost off the line and wide open shfiting.... mean fireballs :)
