Very simple... Don't load up (giving it gas) the engine below 2000rpm. The VVEL runs exceptionally well at low RPMs but no engine likes being run hard below 2k. If it sounds funny, don't run it there. Your're gong to f-up your engine! If you're launching a manual off the line you should be starting at 3-4k and feathering the clutch. In an automatic you can ride the brakes for a second or two to bring up the rpm (while in drive of course) for launch. Don't do it for too long since it's pretty hard on the transmission and will heat up your fluid quickly.
