What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to launch my car for the life of me.
600/500 Procharged GTO with built IRS Manual Tranny, Spec Stage 3
15" Bogarts with MT ET DRs and skinnies up front
I have tried anything from 3800-4200rpm launches and I either bog or spin like hell and can't do any better than 1.85 60s.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? What techniques should I work on? How much do i need to heat up the MT ET DRs?

i don't get any wheel hop at all anymore, so thats not a problem. I also have a 2 way LSD and 3.73 gears in the car now. I guess next time out I will attempt to slip the clutch as now I just knee jerk off of the clutch and go from there. I am not worried about my shifts on the way down teh track... and a few people have also commented that my car sounds like an Auto because I am in and out of gears so quickly, and I do not power shift.
Any help will be appreciated as I am trying to learn!
Thanks
