Default 12's

well i was @ PiP yesterday, and got a free run. i wasnt sure how i should launch it, so i didnt try too much, since i was on street tires (fuzions). when i left, the clutch was slipping reaalllly bad (stock clutch) which is noted by the 60' and 1/8. what should i try and launch at on street tires? just dump the clutch or feather it out. i feel i should be deep in the 12's. after the clutch grabbed, it was pulling real good all the way to the end.

R/T - .498
60' - 2.592
330 - 6.193
1/8 - 9.015
MPH - 87.23
1000 - 11.415
1/4 - 13.441
MPH - 110.89

when i lined up, i went around the water box and got into the groves from the big tire guys but the 60 killed me bad

Heat the fuzions up. Mine love being hot! They get all nice and squealey-sticky

Try less of a dump and more of a slip - should be easy with your slipping stock clutch. It's been suggested that I slip mine (hard though) the whole way through an RPM until the gear reaches that RPM (Ok, I didn't explain that very well... Say you're launching at 3K, slip until the car is going as fast as it normally would be at 3K, then roll into WOT from there)

I'm working on my 60' to get in here also, hahaha

When are you putting that RAM Powergrip in there?
