i think everyone should quote IndyEvo's posts when he posts them initially because he always goes back and deletes them

All you need to back off Indy he is a great friend to me, and he has brought some real kick azz products to this community so far.

Think about it... "If" his Launch Controller didnt work, do think Buschur Racing would sell it? NO they wouldnt.

Well I'm actually hoping the thing works!

Am close to just ordering it and giving it a try. But I think spending out for something I'm not sure works wouldn't really be inline with my resolution to spend less on my car!

The launching aide that IndyEvo brought to the market obviously works. Similar but more simple setups have been used in other forms of drag racing with success.

I expect that folks that are using them see them as a competitive advantage, and prefer not to discuss them.

Any customer is free to make their own video for distribution to the EvoM masses. Apparently, none have elected to do so. CrCain, you could be the first, and clinch your place in video history.

I dk, the way the guy just jumped down cain's neck for just asking for a video/info from people using it would leave me doubtful about whether it works IMHO.

I have sold a few of these and they are on cars out there running.

We have two of them installed on cars at our shop now but have not tested them yet. I was waiting for some assistance on getting them integrated with the AEM so there is no momentary button. I finally got that last week.

This week my two most important jobs are getting two cars out of our shop, one is a 1G DSM and the other is an EVO. Both of them have the launch aide on them.

When I get it all sorted out we will be posting a video of it in action and I will go into more detail on how it works and what I think of it.

Thanks for your patience.

David, I know what you need. You need me to get in your way while you're trying to get something done. I think I'll come up there early (even though OKIX car won't be ready) and just hang out and create hell and havoc. Tony said he's not too inclined to drive a 1030 miles without getting to race. Me, I just love being around it. Look out, here I come.....

I don't see how a Launch from the "Launch Aide" would look any different than a good normal launch as thats what it was designed to do...

From what I understand it may not get a better 60ft that your best launch, but it will be more consistant. Yesterday I was cutting 1.67 60s on nt555s , but I had a few 1.7-1.8s. If this can consitantly get me in the 1.6s count me in.

I'm still confused as to how it knows when to release at the right time at the tree. Push a button instead?
