Yes but I think it's more to do with the 8.5lb flywheel more than anything else.

When I had my de with s4's I would launch around 3-3.5k, now it much higher. Ive had the same 9lb flywheel with both. But I was always on street tires with the DE I believe, I can't remember if I ever used radials with them or not.

About the same for me, I just have to feather a bit more.

I have friends launching their S3 cammed DEs at 5000 / 5500, when I was fully bolted DE with S5s I had to feather it around 3500

Interesting Fidanza flywheel is listed as 8.5lb (assuming you are referring to a Fidanza) for everyone selling.

I saw on Fidanza's website - application guide section - that it's actually 9.9lbs. No mention of a 8.5lbs flywheel for fwd sr20. Contacted the seller of the one I am buying and he said it was a typo and it's actually 9.9. lol

My friend told me he weighed his and it's 8.5. I will surely weigh mine when I get this week.

Now I normally launch @ 3000rpm with sr16ve (16.25lbs) with sr20ve. Thinking of 3700-4000 with the flywheel and launch control.

But not sure how that will work on the 1320 as I will not be able to warn 50 thread wear tyres @ 4000rpm

Peace

in my case on the track with DE flywheel, stock de lsd trans and VVL kicking at 4.8k i launch mine about 4.5 or 5k with VVL ON and after i launch i try to slow the sliping with the gas pedal and works for me or sometimes i try to remove the clutch pedal instead of removing it instantly and works to. Now i have SR16 trans and will try again to see what happens and maybe try with lightweight flywheel later...
