Tips on launching a 6 spd
Tips on launching a 6 spd Stock excluding a K&N filter, stock clutch and rear end...not to worried about breaking anything, not making enough power, i know....just wanted some tips on how to launch on street tires: about what rpm, and if i should baby it out of the hole to reduce spin...
on the flip side, say i happen to throw on the ET Streets, how should i change my launch, and what is the most effective way to do a burnout in a M6 w/o line lock....thanks for taking the time to read my rookie ?'s

Re: Tips on launching a 6 spd if you are going to practice alot this is the street tire way i launch
tire pressure= 23lbs
2000-2200 rmps
avoid water box
spin tires only couple of times to clean off not heat up
bring rmps up to where you want it after staging
watch lights fall third yellow perform clutch roll
not dump...
clutch roll is a quik letting out of the clutch but controled not just picking your foot up..
if you did it right the tires will chirp then hook...
for et streets
pressure=17lbs
rpms= 3300-3500
(whisper little prayer for your 10 bolt)
do a full burn out in water box
and use same technic as above...
hope that helps

Re: Tips on launching a 6 spd or i could just take it to the track, figure it our after 2 botched 60'....then pull a 2.19 (street tires) and run 14.09 @ 101...in 4000+ DA!!!!!!
launched it about 2600 and she liked it for the most part...gonna slap on the Nittos off my Z28 next time and launch it a lil higher, see if it sticks!

Re: Tips on launching a 6 spd I launched mine close to 5000 on 26x11.5x16 ET Streets when I had 4.10s and pulled 1.77 60', but I only did that a couple times, I figured I couldnt get away with that too many times on that shitty 10 bolt. But it left like a demon.
