Stutter box settings?

[BoostinDSM]

For those of you that have the option to use a stutter box (MSD, DSMlink, ect). What RPM to you have it set at? Mine was set at 4500 but my car would bg a little so I upped it to 4750 and maybe going up to 5000. I am just curious as to other peoples settings.

You don't launch that high do you?

5000-5500 is what I normally launch at the track.

My settings are 5000, 5250, 5500, 5750, & 6000. I prefer 5750, which seems to keep the car on the verge of bogging/spinning.

I upped mine to 5000 last night, I haven't tried it yet though. But I think 4500 was definatly too low for my car.

Do you guys just straight drop the clutch from there or try and pull the tricky slip stuff? I still can't do that very well... I want to be able to just dump the piss out of it and go! Can't wait till track opens back up!

I still try to slip mine a bit (3 bolt rear ) I have mine set at 5500.

I'm afraid he does. It's called the rev limit stutter box. He did it in my driveway once, I think it freaked out the neighbors.

For me its 6K. No Mercy!

Do all of you who just launch the car by dropping it instead of slipping it have the 4 bolt rear end? I want to pull some good 60' times this year at the track but I'm still afraid to launch the car the way I'd like to...

Geez , I though I was bad wanting to turn it past 5500

Personally I let the clutch take the abuse as it's cheaper to replace a clutch than rebuild a transmission...

For cars with stock or 16G turbos it should be set at about 5000-5500. For cars with 20G or bigger turbos should be right up there above 6 grand.

Have any of you guys totally screwed the front motor mount from droping it like that??

I droped it from around 7000 one night and after that my front motor mount has been creeking.

If I just dump the clutch without slipping it a little then all I get is wheelspin. I slip the clutch at little at first. My 60 fts are always between 1.62 and 1.7 and I have never broken a driveline part. The clutch does take a lot of abuse, but it held up all last season. Tranny is TRE with everything they offer and the clutch is clutch is a clutchmasters 2500lb pressure plate and 4 puck solid disc.
