There is no such thing as launching a FWD. It is more like pussying a FWD. A stock 2g turbo can spin the hell out of the tires through 2nd gear not even trying. You are best off comming out of the hole like normal driving reaching ~50% throttle in 1st. In second, get on it ~75% throttle until you are about to shift when you can start to give it hell. Just practice. If you start to spin them, you are being too aggressive. If you aren't spinning them or wheelhoping, give it more gas.

Drag radials, slicks, LSD, motor mounts, and suspension will help you with traction problems. Most FWD owners keep it to the highway. Very few run fast 1/4 times.

I have a T28....and is there wheel spin like hell. Basically, I rev to about 3500, and slip the clutch. But I only give it like 50% throttle.Throw to second, give it like 75%. Once i'm outta the low rpms in second, I'll stomp the fucker WOT. Thats worked very good for me so far.

But as it's been noted....you dont launch a FWD. Not if you wanna win or have a good time at least. You do have to just pussy it. And stomp it once you get out of the wheelspin margin. But every car is different, depending on mods, tires, possibly even weight.

I have a solid front mount( the one in the center) basically I took a plate of steel and welded it solid. This reduced wheel-hop and then I put in a half-shaft from an AWD (the left front CV shaft) to help with torque steer , I still have an open Diff, with an Diff pin welded in, but I still would not go back to the stock set up. most of the time if I drop the clutch bouth tires will lay rubber (sumtimes), but the inside tire will still spin in turns. :3gears: Just my two cents

I have a 2003 Eclipse GTS, bout 220 hp at the crank right now.&nbsp;

I have an ACT 2400, and I launch at about 1500, give it half throttle till about 4000, then jump on it.&nbsp; I also have Z rated tires, and variable valve timing.&nbsp;

...and I know no one cares either...&nbsp;

maybe it'll help :razz2:
