Diggs is now confirmed as an FBI plant who's data mining everyone on here.
How do you do fellow street racers?

I assume that's a bit of sarcasm. Sorry man...seemed like you legitimately didn't know. Just trying to to be helpful!

Ok, I will rule it out. Run out the remaining fuel for next time.

I have a quick question. I could hit 4k on my stock LC, then added an EQT stage 1 93 tune, and now my LC modulates between 3200-3500. Took it to a few drag nights, and about 15 runs all did the same. It launched fine, and damn did it pull great (best so far is a 8.0 @86mph w/ a 1.78 60'). Just wanted to see if this LC rpm was normal after going with EQT, or if there's something I need to look into.

I suspected that you did and that's why I lied.

Launch Control for Cobb/EQT is rpm adjustable. Here is how to make the adjustment. EQT made a revision on their LC for stage 2 recently and may have done the same for stage 1. Default rev max is 4K on slot 1, don't know why its lower on yours.

Good point. OEM LC rpm is supposed to be around 3200. Sounds about right if OP didn't elect Cobb's LC.
Excerpt from EQT's FAQ:
COBB Tuning offers custom features on most if not all platforms they support. These features vary depending on the make/model of the vehicle. For the MK7/7.5 platform, these features are explained in detail here: Cobb Custom Features for MK7 and MK7.5 By default, we elect to maintain the OEM launch control heuristics, as they perform the best. If you prefer COBB’s methodology, please select your choices accordingly.
In addition to these features, we enable options such as “NASKD”, or No Auto-upshift, KickDown control (DSG equipment, manual-mode selected). Kickdown disabled/enabled controls the gear change when you hit 100% throttle input (or pass the 80% threshold / pedal “stop”) If you disable this kickdown, then the car will not downshift to a lower gear. OEM configuration is enabled. Auto-upshift essentially removes the shifting at redline to the next higher gear, which will allow the car to maintain redline at any gear you are in. OEM configuration is enabled.
I believe if you have the Cobb LC, “slot 7” reverts it back to OEM LC. I haven’t launched this way but when I tested it, rpms sat just under 4k and it sounded like spark cut not the fuel cut Cobb uses. For my setup Cobb LC psi hits between 5.5-6. Setting it to “slot 7” boost hit between 8-8.5.
