Also I read somewhere that you can remove the third switch on the
clutch pedal that eliminates the launch limiter.

With the clutch you have, you should be able to cut great 60' times. If you can't get the stutterbox to work, then just unplug the switch and launch normally.

Clutch is stock 5.5K miles on the odom. Est 325whp or so (MD) with at least that in TQ. With the stutter you build 6-8 psi off the line and then the MR spools so frickin fast you have tire spinning torque and full boost almost instantly 25.5+ psi (highest the zeitronix reads & 1st gear only). You have to know how to launch also- no drop/no burn. Let it out a little bit until it starts to move slightly and then let it out the rest of the way swiftly. All the while at 100% TPS from the stutterbox-on. Don't worry about the gas, keep it floored, just worry about the clutch engagement. It is like a 2-step clutch release process. Hope it helps.
Back to my theory, I would be surprised if someone with a MBC would have the problem launching. It may be that the ECU triggers the boost solenoid to lower or something when on the limiter.

The method you described above is exactly how I launch without a limiter, but with this thing, absolutely nothing happens, thus the 2.44 60'. I still fail to see how you could possibly be doing this on a stock clutch when it is so weak and crappy. My tires never break loose, and I often barely move while the clutch slips before engaging completely. I would think this would be MUCH worse with an extra 75 hp, so I dunno. I guess you're just special. I know you're experienced, but as stated previously, I have several hundred AWD launches under my belt, and I used to consider a 1.7x to be BAD. Now, I'd take a 1.7x in a heartbeat, because that would mean a 12.9x in stock form.

I've used the stock 5k launcher to get consistant 1.8x short times, with the biggest limitation being the strength of the stock clutch. I started with part throttle stutter than release the clutch and decided that full throttle works the best. I do remember a few times where the clutch was spinning quite a bit and then at the top of 1st it finally caught up... I'm putting in a SS clutch line to get the engagement a little stronger when releasing the clutch to buy me some time but this car is bone stock right now. Seems like either people's clutches are already fried or there is something different amongst the cars.
BTW I would be EXTREMELY interested in a DSMLink ecu mod for my evo since having the same program for both cars would be much easier than messing with the Super AFC2 or going full out standalone.

It could be that he makes a lot more hp and is able to launch at that exact rpm, but my car at stock HP can't do anything with the stutterbox.

I heard, doesn't make my situation any better that your clutch is stock..
I have 3,000 on the odometer and I've had it since 12 miles. I've done everything proper to break it in, decided to do a launch the other day with 100% TPS with 8 PSI and it slipped all the way in 1st. Smelled bad for about 2 days..
I didn't just drop the clutch either.. (and I know how to launch I get consistant 1.6-1.7 on my talon)
