Yes. Probably not too good for the clutch, tranny and diff either.

well basically everything that has to do with racing your car is harming the motor correct?
launching your car a 5000 and up is messing up your diff or trany.. thats what i think but all i say is that s2000s are super fun

Not sure if it just an oversight, OP, but why do you have your recover rpm higher than your launch rpm? When I had my Si with flashpro, launch and recover rpm were supposed to be exactly the same so the revs would just hold in one spot. Is there a reasoning for your setup?
