I think it will be useful for drag sessions... I want to try with/without on a G-meter to try and get some measure of quantifiable benefit. Not too many times though - I like my clutch too much.Paul Nugent

Would this have the potential to cause some damage if something went wrong? Say if you are trying to flatchange close to redline and the clutch switch malfunctionsYou need a switch under the clutch pedal. If TPS says that you are WOT, the switch is depressed and the vehicle is moving, the ECU cuts fuel.
That way you prevent choking the turbo and when you are done shifting you'll still have boost.
A bypass valve does this too to some extent, but this is much more effective.
I suppose you would just hit the normal rev limiter/fuel cutout unless there was some some other sort of failsafe mechanism built in.

Yes, you will just hit the normal rev limiter and nothing will happen.Would this have the potential to cause some damage if something went wrong? Say if you are trying to flatchange close to redline and the clutch switch malfunctions

Sounds very interesting
How would you hook up the potentiometer so you could have adjustable RPM?
I pressume that if you dont have the potentiometer then it will just rev to 4900 RPM or what you set it to in the software?Comment

One last question.
If you make the adjustments to the chip, then the launch control will always be on, right? I mean it does not use any kinda sensor on the clutch?
In principal I could just press that gas pedal in neutral or 1st gear (with clutch pressed down) and it would keep the revs at 4900 RPM?Comment

If your car is not moving, then you will have 4900 RPM or whatever it is set that.
If it is moving you will have normal rev limiter.
It does not know if you are in neutral or not...
And just for basic launch control where the range is written in the chip you don't need any switches or any extra wiring - it is purely a software upgrade.Comment

Ok thanks and nice workIt works from speed.
