Lol, I wish it was as simple as just figuring out the correct way to launch. All you can do is go easy on the gas and slip the clutch slowly to try to keep your spinning to a minimum. The only way you're really gonna keep from spinning is some nice big fat sticky dr's and even that can be iffy on the street.

Just keep practicing until you find what your car likes best. But youre gonna keep spinning, you just cant avoid it. Try throwing on some 4.10 gears, then you'll really be spinning

all i have to say is "good luck" it would be in your best intrest to get DRs and not bother w/ the street tires, just my .02 and experience.

Get some lower control arms.......That would help out with traction

Slip the clutch a little out of the hole, and go 80 percent throttle and then full throttle when you start getting traction.....


Launching on street tires is very tricky..

slip from 3k and take the tires down to 20 psi. that will prolly be the best. just keep the spin at a min and stomp it once you have traction
