    Using Megasquirt is probably one of the cheaper options. Some info here http://madscientistmatt.blogspot.com...egasquirt.html

    I have an Omex rev limiter which has an additional launch control function (press and hold a button) which will be probably the cheapest/most simple method of fitting what you are after.

    Think they are still about on eBay, if not try Demon Tweeks, Rally Design and similar shops.

    Demon Tweeks supply a Launch Control kit for £109+vat IIRC.

    all those launch control kits is hold the revs at a set point. why cant you hold the revs with your foot?

    evan holdin the revs with me foot as soon as i plant it then put it, into second it spins up even in the dry. i have goodyear f1 egal tyre's too. but it stil spins. the engine is pritty much standard, but i want to do sprit run's so less spin of the start the better.

    i was lookin for adjustable launch contoll too.

    sounds like you need a lsd. an aftermarket traction control will also limit the spin, but a launch control needs altering to suit every start condition. all the racers do practice starts to work out their settings
