With a 2.5 2002 RS pressure plate, ? year forester flywheel and 6 puck disc, I launch at about 5000 rpm full boost. I would worry if I had sticky tires, but I run RE-92 right now so I just spin the front two and 1 rear! Get consistant 1.8 60' times.

5000 rpms, the first 2 times I went drag racing I launched at 3000 rpms and that led to bad 60 foot times. 5000 rpms at the limit of traction gives me 2.100 second 60 foot :) My clutch had no problems with this either, I recently replaced my clutch because the pressure plate wore out. The clutch disk looked almost new!
