ok since this question comes up so often here my buddy suggested that we do the video on the track, so we did, and here it is!

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/How-to-Launch_156629.htm



*edit*
i only used the clutch in 1st, thats why its so jerky

**edit 2**
THESE ARE STREET TIRES SPECS ARE AS FOLLOWS
245/15
400 tread wear
39-40psi

 

what you mean you only used the clutch in 1st gear? you slammin the gears without the clutch?

 

Wow that was a fantastic vid[&:] I'll stick w/ my way

 

It looks like it bogged down after the launch.

 

Such a good launch all you hear is tire spin through first. That was kind of FTL. Try slipping it more.

 

**** son...watch this launch....

your a dumb *** there was hardly any spin, and if you think you can pull a 2.08 on 245's 400 tread wear at 39psi be my guest

BTW it was 74* here today, and the track temp was about 80-85.

 

yes on that run, i wont do it again makes things smell funny, and the tranny hates me now.

 

good way to destroy your transmission. its not meant to do that, and you will see negligable gains in the 1320'

i pulled a 1.9 on 255 bfg street tires with 44psi in them

did a 1.9 on my 295 nitto's as well with 44psi in them, but that was a lot easier lol (only tried twice)

 

yeah i know if i break something means i need to "fix the motor" too, the next run was my 8.84 run, on a 2.09...... im thinking about driving north to get colder temps at the track, its already getting to hot here...and the track is losing a lot of its grip. i couldnt get in my right lane due to the "professionals" getting lane choice.

i tell you what, if any of ya'll think you can pull a sub 2.0 in MY weather on my tires in my car you can come try, but im gonna be willing to bet you can't. BTW the humidity was @80% SEE
