Default launch light

trying to be more consistant with my launching. find it a bit awkward to when in left lane trying to keep eye on tree and glimpse tach right lane no problem. i know raptor makes a nice shift and launch light combo but i only need a light to launch as im a auto. anything available for my purpose or has anybody ever made one.

Default Msd

I use one in my Camaro from MSD, it's a two step, you'll need an adjustable chip and I use a very small LED light. I want to say the whole thing was maybe $50 from Jeg's.

Default Sure Thing........

It may not be until the weekend, it's going to take me that long just to be able to get to the garage where the invoice is! I see you're in NJ too, we're looking at 24 to 30 before this lovely white stuff stops but I'll get it for you.

thanks rowdy. after looking at expenses ive decided on the raptor dual mode. i can use the shift part rpm light as a reference when index racing . will tell me mph and gets me close to what my et might be by that providing launches are consistent.
