Nah, depends on your clutch man, try 3500 but dont just hold it at 3500, blip it between 3000 and 3500 and slip the clutch. That is if you're at the track. Working the accelerator pump that way gets a little extra fuel in there for a good launch or so it would seem.

Tennis, anyone
oh ****,, these guys...lol
Off the line launching is an art form..
1st gen rx7's and even rx2's just seem to hook up.
it takes some time too and practice.. it's a fine line between hooking up, or spinning out (up in smoke)

Well launching with a 12a with a turbo is a very fine line between bogging and near-uncontrolable wheel spin. Has a lot to do with easing off the gas just enough and then floor it and not too soon or too late or I will lose.

Yes they do.. just about any tire, when warmed up
will provide more grip,then cold. for him to pull the wheels like that. the rear tires were well baked.10500 rpm's ain't nothing.

Prosthetic head.
Back to our original 12A subject...
Yes, 3500 is good. I've experimented with my 13b and at least 3500 or 4000 is enough. I doubt there's much difference for your car.

On street tyres, it just comes down to practise. I cut a 1.7 60ft on street tyres.
What I found effective was to find a sweet RPM point where the car wont bog, and keep the RPMs there by slipping the clutch out and pushing the accelerator in as you take off.

Did you end up selling your blow thru setup for a EFI one, I wanted my car to be like your blow thru SE motor setup?
btw hows the car running with the new motor?
