You only need to have a little to much throttle when the clutch is released for it to be all over and traction control actually will slow you down. The quickest launch is all with the driver, I am still having fun trying to get that fastest launch.
FPV6 Member 110 Member For: 14y 1m 13d Gender: Male Posted 26/08/12 09:07 AM Author Posted 26/08/12 09:07 AM The question is, can it be ajusted through to change it from launch assist to launch control,I know that in the Delco computers that run Holden/Chev donk LS motors it can be programed I also wonder if it is a safty thing FPV put in so morons dont bust up components doing a red line dump lol

MetalPhreak Member 28 Member For: 20y 2m 16d Posted 29/08/12 10:36 AM Posted 29/08/12 10:36 AM It's not just a rev limiter. Drops half the cylinders as well apparently.Not sure why Ford even bother? I don't think its even mentioned anywhere as an advertised feature.
