ever since i got the turbo i cant launch my car worth sh*t. i dropped at 3k and peeled all through first. i was racing my friends non-turbo supra and he had such a better launch than me i couldnt catch back up to him in time...fu*k! i need pointers bad...and this post only applies to the turbo people.

a670 3spd automatic ;)

i have 5-spd

Don't drop the clutch anymore. You have a lot more HP and torque at the wheels now, so it's much easier to break the tires loose, as you found out. :)

Try slipping the clutch a little bit to get the car moving before going WOT.

dual stage boost controller. :thumbsup

either dual stage boost controller, or dont dump the clutch. try feathering it, practice somewhere you wont draw too much attention.

***Silvernt does not promote practicing launches in residential areas, wait....yes i do!

my best results came from feathering...but only slightly...rev to 4,000 and let the clutch come out most of the way, with a slight amount of slippage...try it a few times....but was able to pull a 2.26 60' time doing that...and getting the turbo to spool up real fast...had almost no wheelspin as well...its not tough to do...just have to "feel" it
