Thumbs down Bogging Or Spinning The Wheels On Launch

Hey, I have a 01 Gt and I just can't manage to get a good launch. It is basically all stock except for a k@n intake. I also have I believe 17in TSW wheels. The tires are Falken somethings. (bought after buying the car a few months ago.) I plan on getting some 3.73 gears in the near future, will this help with the bogging? Any advice would be helpful,

Thanks a lot!

Is this at the track? What is your 60' looking like?

Oh and BTW, I'm just doing hole shots off of red lights and such. Not at the track.

Yeah, you're probably not going to hook up too well without going to a softer compound tire. If you're staying with the stock tire size, maybe try the RT615K tires, if you want to stay with Falken on all corners.
