How to get a proper launch?

[pgclee]

This has been bothering me for a freaking long time....

there is this time on a drag strip with my Stock civic, i did a 14.6sec in my car with Falken Semi's....and that is my only best ever launch in my whole life and i forgot how the hell i did that....normally is around 14.9sec....

the case is...
i look at the techno...around 6k rpm...i don't know how the hell i release the clutch and the tyre just grip on the ground and pull the car with it, with very very little wheel spin, ermm..actually i can't feel any wheel spin at all...the RPM stays exactly at 6k rpm when the whole car pull away...

does anybody have a theory of giving a very good launch and when you say at that RPM, is there any reason behind it or you just listen to what other people said to you?...how do you really manage the clutch?...std or racing clutch?...what kinda clutch setting you are talking?...

now..i don't know what i'm talking..hahahaha...hope you guys know...

Your either slipping the clutch too much (or your clutch is shot), or your LSD is working fine and launching like a jungle cat?

dudes, lets not go into a debate about his car/time.

i also would like to know how to launch properly.. if u ran slicks its bascally hold the rev's at 7000 and drop the clutch... semi's are less forgiving. i feel no burnout shouldbe fine, but thatss all the info i can say..

experienced ppls?

dude, i've drive a ITR on a drag stip before...i got 14.09sec, just exhaust and semi's....cam phase and ecu..tats all..and that owner drove a 13.99...so..i don't know what the hell happen..ITR stock suppose to be around 14's low...depends on is it a GOOD engine or NOT...haha..

back to the point..is there any possible way to explain a good launch?...

my mate jimmy launch his vtir civic in vtec (6000rpm)with no wheel spin. the car use to just grip and rip. he says its alot to do with how you release the clutch.

practice makes perfect i guess..

the way i see it if u dropp the clutch too fast den u get wheel spins so u gotta feed the clutch... understand??? relase slowly.. and get use to it den u'll b able to control how fast to drop it wdi out spin...

Release slowly? man, if you do that, you will lose by 1-2 car length....there is a proper technique for launch but nobody seems to teach em' out...
