You need to launch at a higher RPM. No question about it. These cars don't make crap for power down low. Start messing with the launch RPM a bit. If you are spinning with a 4k clutch dump, then try slipping the clutch a bit. But you need to launch above 4k to start seeing lower 60fts. Tire pressure should be good around 14-15 psi. I wouldn't go much lower than that. With MT DRs my trap speed fell when I lowered the PSI down past 14.
And of course a better suspension geared towards launching will make your trips to the track way less frustrating. A set of fox body v8 rear springs (like $50 through summit), strange adjustable rear shocks ($69 each through summit), and a decent set of LCAs is a great start. If you have some money left over, then front struts to match the rears too. For a detailed description, go to the 5 components to a 12 second N/A car sticky done by 1SLO85 (or was it code

That sticky alone can answer a large percentage of the threads I see on here.

do the fox springs happen to lower the car at all by any chance? and will i notice a significant difference between the fox vs my eibachs during daily driving? they are stiffer im assuming?

The fox springs are a little softer than the stock 99-04 springs and the eibachs. They won't feel like a road racing suspension, but with adjustable shocks you won't notice any reduction in ride quality or too much on handling.....unless you are actually autocrossing or something
