There are so many variables about launching. Tires, road type (concrete, asphalt, prepped, not prepped), is the road dry or not, blah blah blah. You have to practice alot to determine the feel of everything. It is a skill that must be learned, not taught. IF you stop at a light going straight, even if you aren't racing try launching through second, eventually you will get the feel. Thats what I did with my older rides.
from the factory our ECM limits torque somewhere around 2k rpm - it literally flat-lines....
lemme see if I can find a pic...

I have probably been launching at too high of an RMP according to some info posted here - but I normally shift somewhere around 6k rpm ~ I am unsure if my RPD is to accurate and the tach is slow or not (can only watch one at a time!) ~ but wehn I used my RPD for the shift light feature, I could have sworn I slowed down (eg: shifted a smidge too early)

what?!
I'm seeing a debadged car in your sig, and this text behind it;
So I'm posting under the presumption that your sig is your car.
these guys have been talking about running their LNF cars;
I'm actually trying to help - and since advise they have given might be geared purely towards SS/TC's
~ I wouldn't know where to start looking for an LSJ dyno chart (let alone one that might match your car) to figure out where you make peak hp/torque - so don't ave a clue where your optimal shift point is.
What you want to do is shift just a little past peak hp - so that when you are in the next gear (keep in mind you loose a little bit of revs during a shift) you will be right at the sweet spot...
if you shift too early, you chance bogging...

Some people make it sound like a HP tune is something universal ...like trifecta . You can have an HP tune from someone like BYT or Term.......... Then there's joe blow at the local performance shop. It really makes it hard to get a true gauge of performance with a HP tune ........ they can be all over the place. Where as Trifecta's tuning stays fairly consistent . ( all thou some cars will data log different than other... and be able to run more timing or have to run less ..... ect ect ) We could see video's go each way forever with all the variables.

I had equated some of some of the earlier posts to an online version of an endowment contest;
oh yeah!? ~ well mine's THIS big
Now if I could just get this moates device to datalog my OBDI car... I might have a hope of getting the car actually set up right - rather than doing totally blind changes...
I'm a newbie to the tuning side of things, and even I understood this...

With OBD1 everyone was chipping this or that ... I still get people who ask if my car has a chip in it or been chipped hehe.
iirc both OBD1 & the transitional "OBD1.5" were both that way...
ok, you took my manhood allusion, to a whole new level...
how's this;
if you have something legitimate to contribute, post up - if you're only looking to raise crap STFU.
I'd love to Have a Solstice GXP - make mine an '09/'10 coupe with the manual transmission please!
(of the few coupes I've seen, they have all been automatics; and only recently did I find out that a couple 2010's were built!)

yeah trifecta is overated when you have a catless dp and a drop in filter and all the other guy has is a tune not to mention it was from a dig next time let the kappa forums know your mods before you open your mouth

In your opinion, no. In mine, yes. I'll throw a competently hpt tuned lnf against a trifecta tune any day of the week. Key word, competently. The amount of toolsheds running around with HPT nowadays is astounding.

I'm the one that did the tuning on the HPT one. Stock DAL's, no additional timing, just hand smoothed. .87-.86 lambda throughout and all the right things in all the right places. Also he's at about 19 pounds. Car's got alot more in it.
