you just need to play around with the RPM, i've seen some people launch at different RPMS and the car reacts so differently. the goal is to have a smoother rise and fall of the front end that way you constantly moving forward. if your car is busy rebounding the front end and unloading the rear...you're wasting energy.

this is what you want to see right here.
