Your tires will affect how you are able to launch it more than anything.

What tires are you on?

If you have a stock 10 bolt I'd be careful how you launch...

If you're on street tires, the hardest you're going to be able to launch is 2000 or under without blowing off the tires.

get some drag radials....i was able to get a decent launch (@3200 or so on the streets) on some 315/30/18 bfg drag radials. Thats with a decent stage and i'd still get almost a full rotation almost of spin before the tires would catch traction

tires is the most important thing, then suspension, then weight reduction

You want to launch, get some good tires.

I launched at 3800rpms on 16" MT DR's and consistent 2.0 60' times.

NOBODY can teach you how to launch an M6. It takes practice.

G-force tires are not all that great. What size tires you running? Mods>?
