For clarification do you first hold the shift lever forward to engage launch control, flag shows up. While still holding the shift lever forward can you then adjust the RPM's without depressing the throttle or do you have to have to have the throttle pinned and sit at the rev limiter while you adjust the launch RPM with the cruse control lever?

Do you pull or push the cruse control lever to decrease the launch RPM?

I might test this out tonight at the drags.

Thanks,
Royce M

you have to depress your throttle and after rpm stablise at 5500 rpm then adjust your rpm using cruise control lever back to decrease and forth to increase then just let it goooooooooo

Thanks. Tried it and it worked great. I would have to admit that it takes a bit of concentration to set all those things up at the drags while trying to stage at the same time.

Of the 4 runs I made I was only able to get launch control working twice. Does anyone know if there is a set amount of time, from the time the car is started, before launch control is avaliable?
