Try letting go at 3,000 RPM.
Then try searching as this is a topic they like to bring up a few times a month.

I tried this for the first time last night. I was wheel hopping like a mad man. If thats not good for the car the 6 or 7 miss shifts I made that redlined the engine sure arent. I need a short shifter or somthing.

the way i have done it was slip the clutch,run around 14psi of tire pressure,burnout and i was launching the car at 7-8K rpm, but my clutch naturally slipped slightly cause of a rear main seal oil leak and boy did that rearend bang LoL!

I used to drop mine, with the stock turbos, at 3,500 rpms with a tread wear of about 250. I hopped like hell but had some good launches.

Don't dumb the clutch. Slip it out and keep your rpms up to at least 4k until its all the way out. When u dump it you get wheel hop.

And yes search for this, i know i told someone how to get a better launch on their freinds integra just a couple weeks ago, so look for that
