Launching your X with a stock clutch
I'm launching my X at 5000 rpm and I can't lift my head off the seat, it pulls like mad. Now, I know that my clutch life will be limited (you can smell the clutch after a hard launch) but I'm upgrading to an ACT soon anyways.
Has anyone else found a good way to launch their X? I've tried using the 2 step at 5500rpm but it just smokes the clutch. 4000rpm and the car bogs down and falls on it's face. What's your experiences?

You gotta find the point in yur clutch an inch before it grabs..you cant just let it out real fast...
let it out until the car starts to kinda roll and then build up the rpms at the same time and slip it around 4000 or 4500rpm while keeping the rpms on the rise (try not to slip the clutch while rpms are on the downfall)
This should lead to a nice smoothe launch without any harsh wheel hop or clutch burnage..

it all just starts out by just learning the car and the point of grabbage on the clutch it shouldnt be some hard reving 2 step launch unless you wanna get some crazy wheel hop and the car feels like its studdering down the road which sucks and you can mess up yur drive train..just practice using the slip method i explained.
Again 4000rpm is perfect for me just cuz im modded and i spool up fast anything over that i've gotten wheel hop but maybe the BLOX engine mount i got fixed that.. i've never driven an x but it cant be much different
