so wouldn't it be better to launch at around 4-6? cuz then there's less chance to kill your rear end.

...scs2000 lives really close to me and I've seen him race my buddy's KO4 S4 and that was a really good/close race...and if he launched anywhere from 4-6 then I'll believe it cuz he seemed to get a good launch.

 

All I'm saying is that I've driven a Comptech SC'ed S2 and I've seen all of the dynos. I just don't see it braking the tires loose at 4K RPM's without some help. My car would just start braking tires loose around 4K and I think most of us saw when Wes posted his dyno and mine together. The mid-range area was where the biggest difference was. I had around 50 more hp in that range and I would have to try and brake the tires loose at 4K.

 

Torque is pretty steady from 6,500 RPM to 9,000 RPM. Max HP is at 9,000 RPMs. Any of these places is a bad spot to launch (drop or side step) with a SC and ACT Clutch.

As for breaking the tires loose at 4K, you can do it, even with slipping out - but the conditions have to be right (colder weather / tires makes it easy). But it's a rare occurence.

 

My friend has a stock 2000 and I let him test drive my supercharged S2000. He told me that he noticed power response in around the 4K range as he pressed on the throttle. I tried to lunch at around 5-6K, I got too much spin. For me, I got no bogged and less wheel spin when I launched around 4K. Also I noticed if I pop the clutch instead of feathering during the launch, I got lots of wheel spin.

 

HAAHAHH morons!
