Default a little help please?

i just got my pacesetters and they're awesome, the only thing is when i launch, i get very little traction in first gear even at half throttle. im launching at 2500 but it also bogs down a little after launching.
i dont have the money for better tires just yet so is there a way i can launch better??

Practice your clutch release. Take's time, but you will get it down.

you launch at 2500 on the street?

my camaro is auto, but my last 4 cars were manual so i know how to drive one.
im all of my cars to get the smoothest roll i would straight up let the clutch go a little and the second i felt it start to grip then give it a little gas and feather the gas until the clutch wass all the way out. even in my weak *** 4x4 rodeo i didnt have to rev up my engine at all to go from a complete stop
