Default How good will I launch on street?

My car has a torquer v3 cam, full boltons, m6, full suspension(lcas,phb,adj tq arm, sfcs, 1le bars, bilstein hds, eibach springs 3/4 drop). I also have a 150 wet kit, (very flexible from 75-150, progressive capability, and first gear lockout), textralia clutch.


Say i got 275 e/t streets, a 9'' rear, good driveshaft, and 4.11 gear (give or take).

Will i be able to just dump the clutch with some significant rpm on the street and hook?

My car is a monster at rolling races once i get in the rpms, nothing really can touch me, but i really need to get better at off the line. I need to get into the rpms faster. I figure with more agressive gearing, traction, and some rpm on the launch, i can be a monster.

All depends on the road. Sometimes I drop the clutch at 3k and it hooks, othertimes it spins like hell.

Just go and mess around with your car.

Hoosier QTPs all the way. granted im only bolt ons..but ive launched it from about 3 with no prep and rolled into the nitrous at 3500RPMs and no spin. With your extra power im not sure..Also what kind of 275 M/Ts? I had them on my 17s and honestly wasnt impressed personally.

yeah, on the street, you're not gonna be able to launch crazy high without some prepping of the street.
