What RPM are you guys launching at? How much have you had to adjust that due to the increase in power?

I always launched at 10-1200rpm's The tricky part is when you first rev up the rpm's to where you want after a second they fall back down and you have to apply the throttle back down slightly to get them back where you want...
As far as the new power? Don't know yet...But soon!

Not sure if you have checked into the MBZ "CPO warranty", but it is far from the coverage of the factory. Found out the hard way. Best of luck with the MBZ. My experiance was bad from the 3rd day on...... Loved the look, hated the reliability. But like you said, it varies from car to car.

I put 160k miles on my Youkon Denali before I had to replace anything. After that I got the MBZ. Wanted to get rid of the MBZ for the Camaro, but couldnt get a good trade in value for it.

I can't step up into the SC world so I have to live vicariously through your guys on here

Midgard and the huge HP guys do a fine job of keeping me on the edge of my seat waiting for the details and timeslips.

I guess I haven't looked into the fine print of the "CPO warranty." Fortunately, I have 3 more years left on the factory warranty.

So, it looks like we have pretty much driven the same cars, Tahoe/Denali, MB, Camaro. Nice taste. haha

Thanks, sweaver, that makes sense.

Sweaver can you explain what feather out the throttle means.
I understand what rolling into or mash the throttle means. but not sure what feaather means.

He is saying you have to roll into the power before mashing it to the floor. A good driver is all about feel with the throttle foot. Every car is different as well for what rpm it likes to launch at. I actually launched at around 2200 and rolled into it and once in second mashed it to the floor. My new setup will be a little a different and a new learning process as well but I will also be installing an rpm module so I can fine tune the exact rpm that the new setup likes and will hook as I will be running full slicks at track as well.

Yes roll into throttle gently but quickly! I was answering a post from sonny who used the words feather the throttle...So i explained it in his terminalogy!

Jason,
If i tried 2200rpm's with my auto, That would not be good

I am sure I wasn't the only hold out waiting for a decent picture..

Hendrix only sold 20 so far... they would have sold more with decent pic's in their thread.
