if you get axle hop (also known as wheel hop), then that means that you are dropping the clutch at too high of an rpm, either lower the rpm or ease the clutch rather than dropping it...

i think 4500rpms on the street and around 3000rpms on the track... both easing the clutch... if you're gonna drop it, a little lower...

5000 Rpm clutch slip!!! It puts you right in the sweet spot. Oh yeah, dont do this alot if you desire your clutch.

Slipping is slowly releasing or engaging the clutch. Also known as feathering.

Dropping the clutch, is when you do just that. You just take your foot off all at once. This is also known as popping the clutch.

Slipping the clutch tends to be much harder on the clutch, whereas dropping the clutch is much harder on the tranny, and sometimes the motor mounts as well.

i used to launch at 3500rpm...
and dumped it...!!
it would revved up till 6000rpm
stay there till the wheels stop spinning
after that....well...you know the story

but after i put it Quaiffe LSD, Jun Flywheel, and 3pucks Exedy brass button clutch (stock pressure plate), and a launch control...
once i set the launch control at 4000rpm
after i dumped the clutch
the wheels spun like crazy
and it keeps bumping the rev cut....damn..!!
no traction at all...
just after i shifted to second, where i got my traction back

now i set the launch control at 3000rpm
still dumping the clutch
but i lifft my foot a bit from the gas after i dumped the clutch
try to keep the rev steady and less wheelspin...
this way works best for me..
might be different with you guys...

cheers...
