I have what's on my auto signature and that's it, I want to launch with my M6 stock clutch, stock rear end, and stock gears. What do I do, and how do I do it?!?!?!?

Well try 2500 and see how much wheel spin you get. I always launch F-bodies and Vettes at about 3500 with a good bit of feathering of the clutch and gas. for me thats just enough wheelspin to get moving.

stock gears and clutch are hard to get outa the hole hard. when i had my 10 bolt, if i let out the clutch too hard, the tires would spin, and if i diddnt let out hard enough, it would slip. it just take alot of practice to see exactly what your car needs. since you have the traction, its time to worry about other stuff. i'd start saving for a rear end, then you can beat the **** out of it ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
i have 4.11's in a 12 bolt on 315 nitto drags now. i can put it to 3500 and side step the clutch. its such a good feeling to feel the RPMS surge down then the car come off the line and leave in a hurry.

When I goto the track, I keep the clutch in, rev it up to 2300 or so, then as I goto launch it, I just feather it out. It takes alot of practice getting to launch the way you want it to. It was even harder for me since this was the first car I ever had that was a stick.

I usually go to 2000 RPM's and let the clutch go, not dumping it but still letting it out quickly. Works pretty well except i spin all through first and then halfway through second, but i guess you'll always get a little bit of spin, yours should be a little in first though since you've got them nice tires on there lol.

I hold mine at 3500, and let the clutch go pretty quick, not dumping it and not slipping it either. I still have the stock 10 bolt with the stock gears as well on Nitto's, but I do have a Spec 3 clutch... I cut 1.90-1.92 short times like this, and it isn't leaving hard enough to tear anything up.
