Launching tips on SPEC 3 Clutch....
I just got my SPEC Stage 3 Cluch installed alittle over 350 miles ago and it feels totally different and launching for me is difficult . I have a set of potenza street radials (no money fore Nittos DRs ) I have tried a few techniques like launching at 2k and letting the clutch very litle but that seems not to work since A STOCK 2004 GT beat me off the line!!! But I tend to get excited and sometimes just floor it to the ground. Even when im half through first if i floor it its still spinng like at 40 mph!!! Ive only been driving standard for about 2 1/2 months. Now i have to put up with that 2004 GT ragging on me.....
Once I get my launch down i plan to him...
BTW this is on the street not the drag way...
Advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance....

Practice is the trick. With your tires you will need to figure out where you can launch and not spin. Like said above don't go crazy with the gas until you are hooking. With Spec III in my car I launch at 5500 on ET Streets. That is after getting them good and hot at the track. On the street with Nittos anything above 2500 is a waste of tires and time.
