shitty launches in my h\c car thats full of suspension mods including qa-1's and nittos i cant seem to cut better than a 1.7 60"
the car has a tci ssf 3500 stall and 3.73 gears i usally run the 315-35-17 nittos at 17lbs hot and do a small burnout before launching. during the launch i stall to about 2k then floor it... it seems that i get good weight transfer but i still get too much wheel spin
CAN ANYONE RECCOMEND A BETTER WAY TO LAUNCH?

Have you tried adjusting the suspension any? Is 17lbs in the tires enough? Seems like a radial would be too flat at 17lbs, maybe riding the sidewalls. Im sure a 15 inch wheel and a 26-28 inch tall tire would be alot better for you.

I keep my 315/35/17 Nittos at about 23 psi and that is on a 17x11.
get a good amount of smoke in the burn out box.
Stall to just under 3000 RPM and release the brake and rollinto the throttle.
With that i can get myself into the low 1.6's everytime.
Best being 1.61 all motor,stock internals and FULL weight with 3:42's.
Good luck.
