If you have a stick car...Try leaving at just off idle. any tire spin really kills your time. Also shift at 5200ish. It seems low, but it works. I shift at 5400 for first and 5200 for the rest. "Should" get you in the mid to high 14's if your track is at sea level. Good luck and keep the shiny side up!

good post, thats where i shift to 2nd

anyway leaving at idle might bogg with stock gears, but get the rpm right, takes practice, my style worked for me since i always allowed roll out riding the clutch so the tires wouldn be shocked, i pulled the front swaybar and went 1.98 60' on a good track..... but it took some time getting that launch down, with 273 grs it will be tricky, just have fun
