MHD launch control.

fast1eddy · 08-31-2020, 10:26 PM

Updated to the latest version of MHD and noticed it now offers launch control. Set it at 3000 rpm and gave it a try tonight. Pretty cool trick. All I did was spin my tires but made for a clean start off the line. How are people putting big power to the ground with these cars and no lsd ? I'm FBO with stock turbos and it just roasts tires , well maybe one tire , in anything but 3rd.

We would love pictures of the super long elevens!

Beautiful car, btw.

How does that work? I just flashed version 8 stage 2+ and saw that as an option.

When you're at a stop and clutch pedal depressed, you floor the gas pedal and it will hold whatever rpm you set it for until you release the clutch.

Awesome, I might have to try that. I've had better luck with M3 control arms with 255/35 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s un the rear.

I had a play with this a few weeks ago. Bumped back up to V9 S2+ for the fun of it and set the revs to 2600rpm. Still broke traction thru most of 1st and a little chirp into second, but boy is it fun!!!

I wonder if limiting the power for 1st and 2nd would improve the launch/0-100 time?

What's the difference between V8 and V9 stage 2+?

I'm thinking the same thing. Don't get much time to play with it on the street without looking like a complete hoon and risking my license but it would be good to try.

I can't give you any technical details on this, only word of mouth...BUT, from what i've been reading here on the forums is that V8 had a few issues that people weren't enjoying. Ken from Wedge currently reccomends V9 Beta over V8.

I jump between V5 and V9. V5 feels super strong and aggressive which I like for my weekend drives up the mountains. V9 I have only just started using and it feels good. I don't use ethanol but the V5 e50 tune is still supposed to be the most aggressive tune to date.

Note: Stage 1 for weekdays and Stage 2+ for the weekends

I have the same problem, because i work early (6:00am starts) I rarely get to go for late night drives and put my foot in to it and really feel the differences.

Oh my…i was not aware of the launch control option…what about the boys with auto trans? I’m too impatient to wait til tomorrow to look for myself.
