I have a custom EcuTek Tek 3 remap which NOW on the STi9 allows you to run two maps - one high boost one low boost (switchable from the demister button on full throtle) and Launch control. The launch control sounds wonderful.................:notworthy

Launch control is basically a static (below 10mph) rev limiter. You can set it up to what ever level you want (I have it set at 4.5k revs) and when the car is below 10mph it won't rev above your limit. So to do a fast start to basically put your foot flat on the floor - engine revs to set limit - and then you drop the clutch as quickly as you can. The engine won't rev over your set limit until you get above 10mph. This basically stops you over spinning the wheels on the takeoff and losing too much traction. Plus it means you can get full boost as soon as the car has traction therefore giving you consistently quick starts.

But I have to be honest - it just sounds sooooo ggggggooooooooooddddddddd! :eek2:

PS: That's the way I understand it anyway.....................

Sorry I can't be more helpful - I suggest you talk to whoever did your Tek3 remap to find out for definite.
