Default Practice makes perfect. Try to launch while on the up rev of the engine

The extra inertia helps to launch some :-)

Default I'm not sold on the up-rev bit....

I ran some 1.6's on K03's just by using my "hold an RPM and stab" method.

What sort of RPM for hold and stab? Is that hard on your clutch?

Default No? Seems to make sense catching the upswing of the flywheel, of course

I am not much on the stab method, my luck something would break, he-he

I'll hold it at like 3500 or so, and then floor it as I release the clutch.
