Default B20 launch

I have a non vtech b20 with cams and some other minor mods in my gsr. The torque on this car is awsome, but I have a hard time launching, because of the wheel spin. Any one know the perfect rpm to launch.

Are you just dumping the clutch?

It's "vtec", not "vtech".

Try pre-loading. Feather the clutch a bit, instead of dumping it at a random RPM.

Sorry I took long guys. I tried feathering the clutch and it works ok on trials, but when I line up with some one I guess I get to excited and dump it. I think the best way for me to take off is to take it easy on the gas in first gear.

Why not put a b20 in a gsr? It runs very well. Faster than a gsr for sure in the 1/4. Sorry I take long to get back.

It's not going to be faster in any way shape or form.

The GS-R engine and gearing blows the B20 out of the water
