Tips on launching M6 How do you all launch your 6 speeds? I like the 6 speed so I dont want to hear swap to an auto. Anyways the best time that I have with this car is 13.16@109 w/ the loud mouth only and on street tires and spinnin crazy like. OK now the problem. After I added the lid and all the suspension stuff plus BFG D/Rs I could only get a best of 13.2@107. What the hell is going on? I ran the D/Rs at various psi's (12-24) with no improvements in ET's. I am a very confused person. I also tried different launches 3k up to 4,500. Once I launch past 3,500 the D/Rs spin. Trust me I heat them up good. So I dont think thats the problem. When I launch I just dump the clutch is that wheres the problems at? Should I kinda ride the clutch out of the hole? Let me know what you guys do. Thanks

the first thing i did was loose the shitty tires.i run m&h rasemasters from jegs 305/40/16. when i did this i gained 5 tenths from tires alone.ok...i pull around the water box and back up in front of the box.i heat the tires till i see smoke,pull to the line and stage my car to 5,000rpm's.on the last yellow light i slip the clutch alittle then do a dump and floor.my car will pull the front wheels off the ground(alittle) i've done a best of a 1.59 60 foot. on nittos i could only get a 2.0 60 foot and if i would lonch any higher then 2,500 i would spin. if your on a stock 10bolt and clutck stick with what you have.(breaking **** cost too much-i know)
