Its better to launch off idle with the stock stall guys. With a higher stall you can launch off idle or put the car in 2nd and try the brake/ gas thing. I was running 13.5's with 17x9 black bullitts, DR's, Maximum Motorsports lca's, eibach pro kit, full exhaust, plenum, and t/b.

Last time I went to the track with those mods plus, 3500 stall, cams, draglites- skinnies/ ET streets and ran a 12.7. Again launching off idle.
