best way to launch
 
Have u guys found that poping the clutch or sort of riding it out gets better results. i pop at about 2300 and only get 2.2's. you have any suggestions?

All depends on the kind of tires you are running on.

Street tires = slip it out
Slicks = rev it sky high and dump it
Drag radials = a combination of the two

If you cant dump it at the start line you have to fix whatever the reason is, plain and simple. Most times its just a matter of tires, and dont be scared to do a burnout, youll waste more of your street tires spinning off the line then if you get them hot and take off like your suppose to from the line.

No, Im saying if you have to, then you need to get new tires, WAY too much time lost riding the clutch.

I found slipping the clucth worked out better for me. I run on street tires and spun them through 1st and 2nd when dumping the clutch. It could also of been the track i was at cause it is a crap ass track.

you cant dump the clutch on stock tires.

You do not want ot smoke the piss out of street tires it actuly makes them slippery. you only need to spin them for a few secs to get all the debri off them.

can anyone tell me the best launch for a auto and how i can get the tires to burn.... i have 3.73's,racing chip, k&n filter, exhaust system and a few other things and ive yet to try to burn them but how could i if i wanted too.

All you have to do is hold the brake and hit the gas at the same time. You then let off the brake untill the tires are smking but that your not moving forward.
