What is the best rpm to launch at?

[Wilfus65gs]

I was wondering what was the best place to launch a fairly stock 2g eclipse gs. What is the highest rpm you can launch at without spinning the tires?

Right in front of the shop you'll be hiring to repair it.

Tooooo many variables. What tires, what clutch, how many miles, what shocks, what springs, which motor mounts, and how much of a klutz are you?

experiment w/ it. my gs would spin at 4xxx and over. i launched at 3500 usually, but it depends on a lot of stuff.

Rev it and launch it over and over till you find the best spot. practice makes perfect.

get some g-force tires and launch at 5500 rpm's, the guys on here may say thats high, but with those tires you wont burn um to bad.

i launch at 3200-3400 depending upon the surface

practice

I launched at 4000 at moroso and had mad wheel hop, got a 17.2 1/4 mile, went against a sentra ser spec-v with basicly the same bolt ons as mine,got wooped by like 3 car lengths.i had the motor mount iserts but my car wasnt lowered at the time. now i dropped in some sport lines and still got wheel hop at 4k gotta try 3500 and see.

once again i say drop from 5500, I drop from there have no tire hop, anf get a 14.3 quarter mile. but believe who u wish.

Wow.....a 14.3 with a stock N/T........hmmmmm, well I guess truth is in the eye of the beholder.....and I wasn't there.....

[MitzEclipse]

That guy kills me! :laugh:

As for the 14.3 stock... stock GSX's cant run that, so unless you have a mad factory freak, or they accidently put a 3000GT VR-4 engine in that, i dont think you ran that

[shaneyeend]

Sorry, i havn't updated my profile, my car is far from stock. I wish my car ran 14.3's when it was stock, wow that would have been awesome!! but yeah its not stock, and 14.3 isn't to bad for then money i'v dumped in to it.

[GSGoinFast]

update your mod list im interested to see what you have to put you there, i wanna be there

[MitzEclipse]

NO rs\gs eclipse is running 14.3 with out nitrous or turbo.... or all motor compressed atleast at a compression of 12 on the block


dont give me no intake exhaust header cams and borred out throtle body ### thats only keeping you in the low 15s if your lucky

[GSGoinFast]

he hasnt said what hes got in it yet, he could very well have nitrous you dont know

[shaneyeend]

Hey guys, i finally updated my profile, so now u guys can see what i have and critisize me and my choices. But yeah, the 14.3 was a while ago, before a few newer mods, so my time may or may not be diffrent. But figured i'd clear things up for u guys.

Bye

why dont you post a timeslip? no one ever posts them for our cars the fastest non-turbo is like 15.6 now.if you run a 14.3 cant wait to see what i run when our remodeled track is finished and i finish my top end of my motor and ecu.
