We tuned Benz01GS's evo by reflashing the computer. I love that ability. Anyways... when he's got his clutch depressed, the rev limiter keeps it to the power band at around 5,000RPM for a perfect takeoff.

check it.

Testing:

Then I had to get in on it, cuz that was weak:

Then my buddy had to show me up:

When using that launch controll your friend is going to want to stage it longer to allow boost to build. It wont be full boost but it will be around 7lbs. You should hear the tires break loose on a proper awd launch, especially in a parking lot and not a prepped track.
