launch control

i just want it for show and shreet races

I know a guy here in my town that has a 2 step on his civic. He goes to the track every now and then, he mostly street races though. He seems to have pretty good launches but he does run low tire pressure and he uses bfg g force t/a's. Ive seen him get better launches than some awd subarus and talons/eclipses.

Low tire pressure? So the contact patch can buckle and cause him to put his power down through the sidewalls?

i just want it for show and shreet races

Show? What are you going to do? Sit in a parking lot revving your engine?

Use it at the track. Otherwise, don't bother.

like i just like the sound when u have a cat back makes you sound serious

[deevergote]

Oh yeah, it sounds awesome. I can't say I haven't done it at stoplights... but it's stupid. And honestly, nobody around you thinks it's as cool as you do. Most people just think you're a ricer. It's respectable at the track. Street racing is dangerous, and it's not really all that cool of a thing to show off with.

It only works when the car is stationary. Save your money and learn to do it the way we did before computer assisted launch control. Learn to drive your car. I can hold my car at any RPM I want with my right foot when I'm on the line. That couple of hundred dollars could get you something more useful, and learning to drive better at the track will benefit you off track as well.

I somewhat disagree with u..although you are right that u can replicate the holding of X rpm. You can't have your throttle at WOT..you have to have your throttle partially pressed..

Which 2 me..means 3 things

1.the potential airflow and peak power that could be produced at X rpm is low.. because ur timing/fuel values are lower then they could be..VS a 2step that allows you to be at WOT

2.not as clean takeoff off the line..(its just one less thing 2 worry about. Since your foot is smashed into the firewall)

3.consistancy...

I agree. Having it at WOT is an advantage. Not that the throttle plate isn't extremely quick... but still.

i saw a skyline with a launch control and a anti lag system i thot there was a shoot out going on it was lik wahhhHHHH POW POW POW POW POW

[deevergote]

Anti-lag DESTROYS engines. It's pretty cool, though.

Anti-lag DESTROYS engines. It's pretty cool, though.

i wanted to get one when i bost my car but then i heard that it blow the engine or sumthin like that..but they pretty cool the flame that comes out of it its lik some drangball Z shit

[WiKKeDV16]

Ant-lag doesn't destroy engines....the high egt does....

[deevergote]

Caused by the anti-lag

Am i the only one who doesn't understand what 'phayze' is saying?

And, launch control should only be used at the track, where, it helps alot. If i take off at the track with the throttle down, i'll spin tires with my H.
With traction control, it caught faster but only because it was a closer to where it needed to be. (I could set it.)

Driving classes ftw.

Driving classes ftw.

I have an excellent launch but at the track the ground doesn't like to catch tires, lol.

[WiKKeDV16]

Caused by the timing values used/high injector duty cycle.

Fixed it for ya
