I NEED HELP LAUNCHin' my SRT-4...

[teaminterlude3]

at what RPM do u guyz LAUNCH??....I got my car about a month ago and I still can't LAUNCH!! so maybe I need some TIPPS... thankx guyz

This is what I do:

Put it in first and hold the clutch in. Bounce the rpms up and down in between 1500-1750(or 2000 sometimes). Once you see the yellow light hit right above the green, slip the clutch and go wot. Once you hear the tires start spinning go around 50-75% throttle. At this point the tires should stop spinning. Once they do, go wot again. This whole process should take but a couple of seconds so practice makes perfect. Hope this helped!

i go full throttle and pop the clutch. perfect launches every time...as long as you have the same mods i do

Yeah about that....

[TEXSRT4]

hahahaah...well if you take away the computer control

i launch at 2750, with my coilovers on full stiff. feather the clutch in first, never going above 1/2 throttle (i dont worry about this because of traction control features i have, not to mention the boost via vehicle speed), short shift into second then go full throttle

lol...i just launched pretty nicely today on 100....i held the clutch in and held the RPM at 1500....then when the light turned green i dumped the clutch and floored it
by the time my wheels started to spin i was at 6k already so i speed shifted into 2nd and HAULED ASS....lol 0-100 in like 10 seconds

Usually you don't want to dump the clutch but rather slip it out to avoid any wheel hopping. But, either way, I'm glad to see you are progressing.

how do you slip the clutch insted of dumping it?

[TEXSRT4]

slowly bring it up

[CavLCD128]

i bring it out til it starts 2 catch, then just drop it...i guess thats dumpin it seein is how i dont just let the petal go

[BLackattack24]

well add a 100hp then try to launch it! Iam getting a apexi avcr and setting it to 12psi first gear, 20 second gear and then fullboost 3 and up. Then will see if i can launch ha ha

i launch at about 2300- 2500, I always feather it out because the wheel spin sucks, until i get better tires, i'll always spin but when i catch it's a beast. one thing i noticed about the 01 r/ts is that their 2nd gear is a little weak below 4k rpm

It just gets worse the more power you make. I have two settings with my e-01 boost controller; low and hi. Makes traction a hell of a lot better.
