4.5K , feathering the clutch and then drop it~
best way for a launch IMO, since the feathering DEFINITLEY HELPS by reducing the pressure on the tranny and clutch. i tried many different ways and this has to be the best launch to me and alot quicker without any tires slipping and immediate launch.=]

Wasnt there just another thread on this topic not too long ago?? Either way, launching will dramatically shorten clutch life, so i wouldnt be doing it everywhere

i think so but whatevers.....

thats why i feather the clutch .... even tho its still harsher then normal driving, it isnt as harsher then dumping the clutch, thats for shuRee.. ;)
