Re: how do you stage?
Different car but I stage at 5000-5500 and feathered the clutch out a bit, once it hooks let it go...
With Honda's I've tried diferent launches. You have an NA B18 right? I would probably keep it between 4500-5500, not higher or lower, either bog or spins too much...
Try that a few times, different rpm's then compare your time slips and find out which one was better.
