there is no real answer.
there are so many variables, and since theres very little ss/tc launch experience, its even tougher.
my experience with the ss/sc, is that a good standard rpm to try when you get to the track, is about 2200,
depending on the heat in the track, your low end torque, stickiness of your tires....
the optimum launch rpm can change anywhere from idle, to 3500.
its really something you have to feel out for yourself.

sorry man but that was some funny ish. the launch control is engaged by pressing the enabling competition mode and then it holds 5 grand ( i believe) while the clutch is depressed

agreed, i think thats the reason we are seeing vids of "professional" drivers running civic si times. im thinking its gonna need to be launched WAY lower and eased into boost.
