When i went the the track i launch a 4000rpm slipping the clutch on the stock all season. I spun a minimal amount and was in vtec. You dont launch HARD you find that right range that works for your style and the track you are on. Each track is going to be differnt as far as how the prep the track so its a matter of learning that track.

no, read what i said again. i didnt mean it like that. im saying, if you launch hard you will spin. what do you do if your spinning, you usually let off to get traction, and then you will be at a low rpm and not be as fast. launch at lower rpm's, let it spin, then you get traction and be at a higher rpm. which in tern would mean your in vtec. then when you shift, you will be in vtec in second gear. and yes, each track is different and no matter how many times you go to that track everyday will be different. just takes some time getting used to and getting used to your car.
