^ Maaan, i contacted Hondata and asked whether they had a kit for the VTEC on my IS250 and they were like, "Lexus doesn't have VTEC". Obviously they don't know much about cars.

For a 350, disable the traction and VSC. No need to pre-heat the tire (burn out) and you may not even need to preload the trans (Rev-up). Use two feet to release the brake while gassing it. The object is to leave without spinning the tire. You can lower the air pressure till the tire doesn't spin. Full auto, no paddles and no sport mode.

well we dont really have vtec (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control). We have vvt (variable valve timing). They do work a bit differently and hondata only works with honda anyways.

On launch what I usually do is:

Activate interlock!
Dynotherms connected!
Infracells up!
Mega thrusters are go!

You guys are all doing it wrong! I arm my 500 shot of nitrous. Turn on my underglow. Then turn on my emergency lights. Then rev to 9000k and drop my clutch. This is the best method to launch, you'll smoke any car on the road.
