I dont race much but ive been trying to launch lately with my 07 ss/sc and like i cant do it, granted this is my first manual car and first times launching but i jus spin and get wheel hop like crazy...whats the trick?? lol thanks guys

 

practice practicce practice. also look into getting either the torque dampner or poly urehthene engine and tranny mounts that will eliminate your wheel hop. i ussually launch at about 2 1/2

 

my friend has the intense stage 3 and tune, he has 50% boost in first gear, does the stage II gm reflash also do that?

 

not sure i just had DOC (sn on here) flash mine and he took care of my boost with his HpTuners

 

too much boost in 1st = no traction, our cars suck from a dig

 

yea i figured that, it sucks ....

 

yeah i had my boost reduced in first as well, between that and my torque dampener i can launch pretty good.

 

how much boost do you have in 1st, and did it make a significant difference on your launch? i have engine/tranny mounts, TD and a stg2 clutch and i get minimal wheel hop if any at all and no clutch slip but if i dont baby it in first i'll do nothing but spin till i get to the top of second, when you runnin someone from a dig its the excitement of hearing there tires spin that makes you kinda get ahead of yourself and give to much gas, anybody can get a perfect start when your running yourself, i think its when your running somebody that you panic a bit, thats why i always do 40 rolls

 

the guy that set up my car did a boost ramp for it... i couldnt tell you exact numbers but i dont get boost before 4k rpms, and it helped alot since i didnt have to be nearly as careful when launching. i do need to tighten up my torque dampener more because at 4k when the boost kicks in i will get a bit of hop if i have it wot. but overall i am very happy with the difference it made limiting boost in first.

 

Exactly the problem that I have. The best way to fix it is relax. And also dont pop the clutch. Let it out nice and smooth.

 

i just feather it out the hole? with the TD i dont get ne wheel hop just spin like a ****

 

I guarntee if we went side by side from a dig and I feathered it out of the hole while you spun I would be in the front. Spinning=losing time out of hole

 

No, it's called HP Tuners.
