Is there any trick to launching an auto? I ask because I read these combos with c4's and 3500 stall converters 60 footing like crazy, yet my car is a dog off the line.
I footbrake the converter until the car is about to push past the brakes, (about 2000-2200 rpm) then floor it when the lights go.

I ran 11.1x@125.xx. My only pass because I got booted for having no cage. My 60 ft was a mid 1.7. I used to get 1.5's with a stick.
Is there a trick to this?
