Thanks! My old BMW 135i had one of those valves.

I'm wondering if there's an adjustable needle valve or something I can install that would let me adjust the speed of the actuation.

I don't want to sidestep the clutch, just set my launch control to a certain RPM, then be able to dump the clutch and get a smooth launch without breaking axles.

I'm at around 300whp/225torque with big tires (PSS 265's) and I'm spinning them in 1st and 2nd.

I know better axles is better, but I don't plan on drag racing that much, if I could install an adjustable valve and launch consistently, then I'd try that first.
