I'm gonna be running my car at the local track this weekend and I could use some advice. What would be the best way to lauch my car? I'm gonna be running on hoosier et streets. The mods I have done are in my sig, and i'm running the stock 3:42's. I forgot to mention I don't have a step yet.

without a step....

ummm i would just rev it to a good rpm and drop the clutch when the light goes....but i know there are other ways...just hard to do and i would just go for something i could replicate everytime...

comming out of the hole w/o boost is not a huge deal imo because we still have low end tq....

Do you think 3k and feathering out of the clutch would be a good method. If I dump the clutch isn't that gonna grop my rpm's a significant amount. What your opinion on this.

that seems right....feather at 3k..if that is not fast enough than move up...that has always been my method with getting off the line.

I prefer the dump of doom. Hold it at 5K and side step the clutch. That is the funnest part of driving a 6-speed at the track. If it spins badly lower it some and try again. Oh and obviously I'm talking about running on slicks or at least good DRs.

What I did is rev it to about 5,500 And instead of dumping it I let off fast until I felt it hook sort of like at a street light I pulled a 1.9 sixty like that once she hook good and once I past the tree I was at full boost

oh trust me it can be done I've done it more times than I can count.

But when you dump don't you get that whole bog effect. I'm on the stock 10 bolt, wouldn't it be safer to feather out the clutch.

much safer....unless you wanna buy a new rear end...

It can be hard launching with a 6spd and no 2 step.Either to low and you bog or to high and you boost to fast and spin.I usually do I high rpm quick slip.

Rev to about 4000-4500rpm and lift straight up off the clutch as you floor the gas. DONT sidestep on the stock rear...

Should hook well with the tire you are using without killing the rear end

no it wont bog if you have the RPMs high enough....but since you are on the stock rear then yea slip it. didnt know if you had a 12-bolt or not, but it will be a lot of fun to do the dump of doom if you get the itch.

Hahahah.... if you do any RPM dumps on slicks with a stock 10 bolt bro... bring a trailer with you!!

I'll second that!!! My tactic was run it up to about 4k and then slip it until it's full engaged, I got 1.71 60' times doing that on a stock 10 bolt and MT DR's N/A.
