My car launchs best at around 2700-3000, it doesn't wheelhop or spin it just grabs and goes. I remember when I had the stock clutch/LSD/Motor Mounts it would scare me to launch b.c it felt like the engine was going to come out of the hood. I dont know how much I am really helping b.c I am not stock trannywise anymore. But with the stage 3, awr f/r, and the quaife thats how I do it lol
For refrence, my friends had a little race and a MSP with unichip with ebc , intake, smic/hardpipes, and CS exhast put 2 cars on my friend with a 1.8T. The 1.8T has an intake, 3" downpipe, upgraded BPV and someother valve that helps with boost, REVO chip with 20psi , and he also has the SPS2 controller to change the timing and maps for higher octane fuel. My other friend had an EVO with a larger FMIC/Charge pipe, and a BOV and the 1.8T was dead even with him. The MSP put over 2 cars on the Evo as well . The 1.8T now has a full turbo back exhaust and pulls a lot harder. I think it would be a good match up for the MSP again.
MSP > 1.8T = Evo (2thumbs)
