what is the perfect Rpm launch for the wrc model

Depends on the weather, rims, tires, road etc. Go out and try, have some fun.

Let's say it's a warm and dry day on a good set of summer tires I'd say somewhere around 4k.
Never got the chance to try though as my diff mount is all torn and worn and the syncros grind especially when I try to shift too quickly.
Search for guys who installed rev limiters and see where they set it to. But it all depends on the weather conditions and driver.

Peak torque, assuming the driveline will hold the sudden shock and you have the traction to accelerate.

9k rpm and let the clutch

Do you let off the gas while shifting?

I didnt want to create a new thread since its a silly question, so i'll just ask here. No offense TS.
Whats a good rpm to cruise at with the 3sgte? I mean with the least amount of stress on the engine. Below 2k its like sitting in an earthquake.

i got good tires, engine rebuilt, all new super struts, all new engine mounts from dealer engine at 450hp to the wheels i got my launch control install but dont know what rpm to set it to...dont want to ruin the engine yet as you can tell that's why im trying to find every detail i can before my baby gets hurt and there goes another heart transplant if you guys get the drift

I'm still learning to drive manual after not driving for 10yrs. You are correct that anything under 2k RPM shudders, especially when you're trying to increase your speed. If I'm in sit & go traffic, I'm usually finding myself in 2nd or 3rd gear (dependent on flow), but if I'm driving home late at night and there's no traffic, I'll be in 4th as I'm going 60~70kmh without having to slow down much.

Shaking under 2K RPM is not normal. That happens under 1k, maybe around 800 RPM, at least in my car.

I thought that was a normal problem. My old 3gen 3sgte and my brothers 2gen 3sge feels uncomfortable under 2k. Zero power(My 7afe has more power there) and shaking. Maybe my new 3sgte will be better, havent tried it yet.

at 800 RPM my car is still fine if it drops to 500 RPM then it starts to shake a bit

450hp at the wheels????


What's been done to the engine?


Oh, and 6k launches for me!

3SGTE Adjustable Cam Gear - HKS
Grad: 288°/284° Valve lift: 12,5 camshaft - Dbilas
Greddy timing
SARD 4x750cc injectors
HKS rail injectors
CP forge pistons
PAUTER ROD
Garrett GT4082r
st215 intake
total=$5,762.00 invest in the car

about 400-450hp to the wheel is my estimation...i'm going to do the dyno test this weekend so lets see if im correct might be more how knows i have my new ecu coming in on thursday is the Autronic SM4 paid about $2900 with shipping to usa from australia so if you add this ecu about $8,662.00.
