Launching an L03...
Well as you know with owning an L03 car i need any advantage i can get..I would just like to know what is the ideal RPM for me to launch at......(stock L03 T-5) without creating much wheel spin and will give me a solid launch??I know these cars have their torque peak at about 2400 RPM...would this be it??

You will have to find the right launch point yourself. A lot depends on your suspension and tires you have. With my 17x9's and suspension stuff I would feather the clutch out at 3k or so before I dumped it. Seemed to hook pretty good out of the hole that way. Just go practice at the track and compair your 60' times.

Like Shifty, I held mine at 3000. Those LO3's are actually quite torquie. But as you know, you fall on your face at the top end.
