> [@Darkstar](#): > > for the average driver, launching a RWD car is way easier. Launching a 4cyl AWD car is a bitch. A 7.8:1cr 2.0L off boost has NO torque, so you either have to rev it to 7K and drop it hoping nothing in your drivetrain explodes. Even then theres still a good possibility that you’re just gonna bog. To really do it right you have to slip the clutch hard to get the car on boost, then let it out at just as it starts to make power or else you’ll just smoke your clutch up or start burning off all 4 tires. Its not all that hard to get a feel for it, but it takes a lot of practice. Im having alot more trouble launching my RWD compaired to my 1st gen GSX. -j ---

Ported 14b, exhaust, act2600 with clutchmasters flywheel. Kept the rev’s up and would slip it for a sec and then let er go. Never made it to the track though, this was all on the street. -j [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/red-cobra-on-279n/174030.md?page=2)
