Mine is up at 4,000 rpm.I would think that would hinder the ability to launch well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does launch control still work with that swiched off.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used Rob Herrod for years.I don't have my flash tuner locked so I should be able to adjust the launch control myself then!Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
