Default Launching w/aluminum flywheel

Anyone have any tips for doing this. I took the car to the track with only having it for 4 days and ended up with a horrible 2.5 60ft and traped 116. I was on a pair of 16 inch nittos and completly roasted em off the line. One of my problems is that I over anticipated bogging and left with too many RPM,s but the car puts donw 398/392. Can anyone give me some advice on this set up. Im not a hard core drag racer, im just trying to get an 11.9. I was setting the car or for the twisties but want to get an 11 second time slip before i do anything else suspension related. Also some people said that the trap seep will get higher because I really havent had any time in the car yet. What do yall think.

I have an aluminum flywheel and Ram clutch in my car. I launch between 6000 and 6800 depending on track conditions. On the spray I try to keep it around 6000.

Betwene 2800-3000 is where I launched at, trying to slip it off the line.
