How do you launch? I only had time for 3 passes with my recently aquired 99 SS M6 and the best I could muster was 15.0@98mph. Really bad, I know, but its my first stick car. Come to find out the car is peg legged and the one tire that WAS spinning is bald.
I "dumped" at only 1100 rpms and I swear I probably could have kept the "tire" spining the entire track if I wanted to. 2.6 60 FT
Now I have a Moser 12 w4.11s waiting to go in, and new tires, what RPM should I launch it at?

I would say you probably need sticky tires. However, that being said, your MPH seems down for being on street tires. May need a tune or tune up for that matter. With sticky tires, i was actually launching off the rev limiter on my stock rear 
Not sure if i would recommend doing that.... but did make for some great runs

E/T streets, 6000k rpm, dump that sum bitch.
On street tires you don't really wanna be "dumping" the clutch. You wanna practice hooking without spinning. Rev it up a little and slip the clutch till you get moving enough so the tires don't break loose. It's a tricky proccess that takes a lot of practice to master.
