Re: launching on nitto DR's I set tires in the 15-18psi range. Do an 8 second smoky burnout. Then launch at 4k rpms on my stock Z06 clutch and stock 3.42's and no weight reduction. I get consistent 1.9's on a not so well prepped track. The balder your nitto's get, the stickier they get, that has been my experience anyways.
Re: launching on nitto DR's In my experience dumping is a no no. It either bogs or spins like crazy. When I was running a bolt on car with spray I would slip the clutch around 3300 after a good smokey burnout. I was cutting mid 1.8's.
Re: launching on nitto DR's Same here, dont dump it, i did 21 lbs of pressure because they were hooking at that. I suggest you keep as much in as possible when they hook. It will improve your ET with more pressure. Find the pressure where your hooking and go from there. Also, i rev it to 3300 or so, and roll out of it. I cut consistent 1.90 60 foots on a stock 10 bolt. Im a little scared to go higher. And i do only a 3-4 second burn out.
