Default well first run since the mods...

the slip is out in the car but I when I ran I slipped a whole crap load because some people there talked me out of doing a burn out because of my posi and my rear end... next time I could give a crap less... but i pulled a 2.10 with about a full second of screechage and I pulled 13.93@98mp by the end of the bad boy so with a clean launch what should that be at?
and I need tips on launching.. stomp it or rev? rev at what? also what should I set my tire pressure at in the front and back?

Run your tires a little low, will give you more rubber to grap. Do a burnout before, but avoid the water, get the tires nice and sticky. At the start rev your car to right before the tires will slip and spin hold it at that rpm till the last yellow light, hold the brake as well. At the last light floor it and release the brake. Will give you a good reaction time from the line. Takes so practice to get it down right. I do this when racing, the key is to get your tires sticky enough not to spin. My reaction times usually run about .02 with the lowest reaction time being .003. I do alot of racing, and get plenty of practice.
