Launching M7 with Blower
Hello! New to the forums. Hope everyone is doing great.
I wanted to know if someone could give me tips on launching the car from a dead stop with a blower. Around 550rwhp with stock tires currently. I understand upgraded tires at some point might be a must. What's the right way to do it safe right now, though?
Is Launch control still viable, and is it SAFE ?
What tips and advice can you give me on this topic? Thank you.

I've done a lot of searching for this topic as well across the forums.
Short answer from a noobie, it's not easy! Nothing down to a science to get out there and try yet that I can find.

If anyone could weigh in, that would be great. Specifically how to avoid breaking things. I am personally not out to set records at the drag strip.

I would say don't shift into 2nd gear when you still spinning in first gear lol, run flats are aggressive when they bit. other than that sport mode with T/C clicked once seems to be the prefect about of traction control to keep from crashing but enough power to modulate the throttle for power in 1st gear. Launch control is nice but takes the fun out of it and its only in track mode which I believe doesn't allow enough squat smooth out the transfer of COG into the rear tires and blows them off. 3k rpms should only need about 15% throttle or so, "release" don't dump the clutch, time the engine bogging with the clutch and the Delay in throttle/pedal. Try not to move the pedal too much in 1st gear
