Launch Control

Launch Control

The Launch Control function allows control of RPM and the power produced by the engine during the launching of the vehicle. This is done by introducing a temporary RPM Limiter, together with fuel and ignition mapping.

Warning 
Using Launch Control on your engine can cause overheating of engine, exhaust system and valve train. Additional stresses on engine and driveline can cause damage and possible failure of gearbox, drive shafts, differentials, clutch and or crankshaft. Only experienced operators should attempt to use this feature.
