what is the best way to launch my s2k? drop or slip clutch? at what rpm? i try to launch at 6000 rpm but there's too much wheel spin. can you guys help me out? iam going to race my friends 350z soon with my new mods (exhaust and intake) . i raced him before stock to stock, 350z always gets a better start. can you guys help me out?

 

Try a search there have been many threads dedicated to this topic. Also you might want to check out the Street Encounters forum because it comes up there quite a bit too.

The best way is... don't! You're fairly new here. Lots of folks have burned out their clutches doing this kind of nonsense. Don't try to kick his butt at the line. Unless you're ready to start buying lots of expensive aftermarket components.

Just my opinion.

 

Start engine.

Depress clutch.

Shift into first.

Rev engine to 5000 rpm.

Release clutch.

Call local Honda dealer for new clutch.

 

I dont think ill ever launch my car as long as i own it just wasent made for it.

 

That is correct. And I've heard enough folks bitch and moan about weak clutches and differentials to advise against it. Learn from other peoples' pain.

 

you shoulda invested in a new clutch to go along with that exhaust and intake. then you can race all day long with no worries. rev ~ 5000-6000 is best way. wheel spin is better than your clutch spinning. kinda sucks stock clutch doesnt hold up very well, either live with stock or upgrade. good luck in your race

 

i have never had a problem launching my car car at high rpm.....with 40k+ miles on the odometer... i still have the same clutch and rear diff... as far as running with the 350z????
i spanked them every time i line up with them at the track....

 

just race from a roll, go from like 20 or 30 mph to whatever, no clutch damage done, just a tiny unnoticeable bit of tire grip lost

 

what rpm do you launch when you race with 350z
