2 step the s*** out of it haha put the clutch in put it in first gear and floor it, if it bounces off the rev limiter around 7800 then you dont have 2 step... but if it bounces off like a secondary rev limiter around 6000 then youve got it and have fun launching... just remember to slip the clutch and DO NOT dump the clutch youll f*** up your drivtrain nasty if you do

Launching is simple.

Step 1: Stop

Step 2: Push in the clutch

Step 3: Put the car in first gear

Step 4: Let the clutch out to find where it engages and hold it just before that (it'll make it easier to slip/dump)

Step 5: Floor the gas, and hold it to the floor. You will start bouncing off the 2-step at 5000rpm and build around 10psi.

Step 6: DO NOT let off the gas pedal at ALL, slip out the clutch until you feel it grab, then let go.

Step 7: DO NOT let off of the gas pedal until you shift to 2nd gear. The gas pedal should be held to the floor from the beginning until you shift to 2nd.

Step 8: Continue shifting gears accordingly.

that's how i've always done it, and it was good enough to get me and my IX MR to 12.82 @ 107.41 with only a cat back, no tune, no other power adders, and a slipping stock clutch.
