no such thing im afraid,some folk blow things at 3k launches where as i have launched many times at full revs and done hee haw to mine except for a bad smell lol,but if your worried do not do full bore launches,feed the power in progressively and make sure the clutch is up before stamping on the pedal,thats advice i was given a few years ago at a 0-60 challenge thing.

I was running at the pod on sunday in my 96 sti ra .1st time I have taken the car down the 1/4 mile and was supprised how well she performed against the bigger £££ motors there
1st run 12.93 sec
2nd run 12.70 sec
3rd run 12.92 sec
The car is completely standard bar decat dpipe and apexi titanium cat back zorst .
3.5k rpm launch with dccd up two notches and set to open whem hitting 2nd gear.
Sandly I have to sell the car due to the baby on the way cos with a few mods ie bigger turbo and front mount could pos get into low 12's.Cracking day but the traffic trying to leave the event was madness

That's a bloody fast time
for a standard scoob! You're in the standard WR1 territory 
Can't wait to take mine on the strip one day.That said my old Jap Type R was pretty quick and all I had on it was uprated filter and DV...that was running round the 300 brake.

Ive been pod a few times this year and had some different times
as a comparison a took my 2ltr Vectra down and got 1st 15.8 2,15.433 3, 15.458
Then I took the Impreza down, its a JDM with a Z4 ecu and decat`d,
1st 13.890 60ft 2.20 reaction 0.5371
2nd 13.540 60ft 2.02 reaction 0.787 (yes I was asleep)
3rd 13.99 60ft 2.52 reaction 0.4619 (I struggled to get 3rd on this run)
Ive since fitted good tyres, Eibachs and AGX shocks, It has Adjustable ARB and drop links, Im hoping to get better launches/more grip now.
From this Car Stats - Calculator
I should be getting about a 13/13.2 1/4 so it has to be down to the driver,
Ive been watching the thread for tips myself for the next RWYB day, 4k and foot off will be my 1st attempt me thinks.
