On the launch....

What revs do I drop the clutch to get good jump?
I'm running OEM clutch components.

I go somewhere around 3500rpm and slip the cluth a little , dont just dump it. Itll be harder on the clutch but will give you a descent launch. Just practice alot and see what works for you.If your gonna just dump the cluch youll probably wanna stay around 2500rpms.

I've launched from 4K while slipping the clutch and it worked well. The only problem is I didn't mean to slip the clutch... I dumped it. That was the best time to 60 I ever got.
