ha, youd smoke your very expensive clutch! like, as in have to buy a new one


well, i say that. You could do maybe a 10 psi launch, but you cant ride the brake, accelerator and clutch like it do. it would only take about a second and a half to two seconds to tear your new clutch to shreads

Alright, thanks for the help, boosted launches are fun but not $1000 worth of fun

My FE smoothed out the more I drove it either that or I got used to it. It is still a little grabby but not to bad. I got about 5K on it.
