Launch Methods
I am going to run my car tomorrow and I would like to know what you think the best way to launch my car is. I dont want to spin the tires b/c i will lose time that way. What RPM's should start off at and should i dump the clutch. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, you need to give some more information. Is it standard or automatic? What kind of power are you pushing, if you have had it dynod, or what mods have you done to it? What kind of tires are you going run? Nobody can help you if you dont give us something mre than just a question.

I am not best at getting off the line as you can see in my sig but I got my best times leaving at 3000 and feathering the clutch with a little tire spin any lower it bogged I would have tried higher but ran out of time it seems to take rpms to get the mod motors to get up with the stock gears a lot of guys I have talked to got there best times leaving at 3500-4000 feathering the clutch (i did on stock goodyears)
