Use ecmlink switches like nitrous controls to activate it like launch control. Use one of: EGR, BCS, etc.. signal wires. Don't forget the relay.
This ^, except it's "deactivate it".
You want it "on" when you release the clutch, then use the link controls to "deactivate" it so that it's not "on" for your down track shifts.

So basically, I just hook up the lines, and then I can run the wiring of the launch control device straight to the FPS wiring.[/IMG][/URL]
If I were to do it again, I'd make sure it releases too quickly and adjust until it's slower, just to the rate that's needed.
it worked out for you ?
How many passes till you had to replace the clutch ?
I’m thinking about getting one of these for my setup.
Thank you for the infoIdeally you want clutch psi to drop instantly to your "sweet spot" of partial engagement, then stay in the sweet spot for around a second or less. That dwell time in the sweet spot gives the car some time to gain speed before the clutch locks up. If the clutch locks up too quick, you get either spin, bog the engine, or break something. If the clutch locks up too late, excessive slipping smokes the clutch.
Here's the release curve shapes you get with the Magnus type "launch control"...

Now imagine if your setup's "sweet spot" for a proper hit is around 150psi. None of these curves give you any sort of reasonable dwell time near the sweet spot, you only get that with clutch smoking delayed engagement. Preloading helps reduce reaction delay, but you will need to launch near the top of a full tree to cut a lite.
The Hitmaster's stepped release curve for comparison...

Raise or lower the hit into the sweet spot with a simple knob adjustment, easy to adjust the timer setting to make sure the clutch doesn't slip any longer than it needs to. No need to pre-load the launch to save parts, as the clutch does not get to full clutch clamp pressure until after the timer times out.

Thank you for the info
I was thinking about starting from no slip in to slip little by little how you log it like that ?
