racing launch rpm, I KNOW YOU RACE!!!EVERYONE DOES.. Options

[RUNNIN-LOW]

well this is a probably a re-post but what rpm do you launch at when you race...come on guys i know everyone on here has done it and will be doing for or till when ever..but yeah whats the best numbers to launch..rpm wise i mean...SWAP AND NO-TURBO...

[Glitch001]

there are a lot of factors involved, flywheel/clutch type and strength, ect ect.

for me i launch at about 5500 rpm with a spec stage 3 and a fizdanza 10lb flywheel for the drag strip

Not to rag on you here, or steal the thread but are you wanting to spin through 1st?
Especially with the flywheel, you would easily get beat off the line smoking those tires!!!

Really? I haven't been beaten off the line much, my friends evo takes me everytime. Oh, btw those numbers are for an mr2, not a celica. I dont have the traction problem, and the high rev helps with 285 tires in the rear with the LSD. Besdies my turbo spools by 3800 or so, while slipping the clutch it helps build boost to 22 so im not waiting so long to hit full power.

well considering this is a celica forum i would only come to the conclusion that you had a
celica. Im pretty sure you dont have traction problems with a mr2. But if it was a celica i would
say you were an idiot. Sorry for the miscommunication.

I completely agree with you, fwd and revving that high is no good. Hey tuffy you have quite a strong bite with that 3s, I was wondering if you did the shimless bucket conversion while doing headwork. Also what octane at what PSI do you usually run in your car with the gt35r, im finding some serious problems cracking 425rwhp on my mr2 and would love some advice if yoiu had some.

i have jun 272 deg camshaft kit (inc. titanium retainers and high pres. springs) triangle valve job, full race porting and polisind on head. with that set up i can have rev. limit arround 8400rpm easly.
i am running with 100 octane fuel. 0.95 bar daily 1.5 bar at race. i have gt 35 r 1.06 a/r that starts arround 3500 rpm and have max boost at 5300 rpm. that means i need high rpm at launch and when shifting.
