I'm pretty sure the SCT tuner does not come with launch control. Did you set your neutral rev limiter at 3k?

OP,

I believe you're referring to the dual-stage rev-limiter option, with the first stage being similar to launch control. Basically, it works like this. The limit is set at 3K RPMs and therefore the car will not rev past 3K RPM when it's stopped/stationary. You can put your foot to the floor(with the gas pedal) and the car will only rev to 3K RPM. This is basically to allow you to focus on the starting light, while still putting you at optimum launching RPMs.

Take it out to a nice, safe piece of road and give it a try! It should help get you out of the hole more consistently and safely!

If that's not what you were referring to, please feel free to PM me directly with your order number and I can have one of our tuning specialists walk you through it! I hope this helps! Have a great night!

Dual-stage launch control, eh? I honestly had no idea that's how it worked. Now I'm gonna have to go and try that.
