So don't launch it. Just hold the break, 3rd amber hit it until I see 1,500 and then mash it? Wish i had known! I was thinking about it but i figured it would make my 60's worse.

if you are spinning off the line you will have to give it less power so you dont blow the tires off. so by easing into the peddle off the line you will get better traction because you wont be shock loading the rear tires. i dont mean easing by like a 1/4 throttle launch try a 3/4 throttle launch and work around that.

if you spin the tires until it hooks the auto will short shift itself and ultimately **** up your whole ET and miles per hour. i knew you had to be doing something wrong off the line...you should be running 104-105 MPH

Another problem is this stupid brenspeed tune that won't shift when i want it to. It literally will wait to shift until 6,500. No matter how we try to set the shift points it won't work. It works when it wants to. Its ridiculous.
