With a radial a constant hit (not extreme) yeilds a better 60. I used to run radials and was fighting the bog or spin. Too high or too low of rpms
I usually side step @ 4grand(stock rear) and that yields a decent hard launch with no bog...on MT drag radials

I dont have a 4l60!
What I meant is that I cant hook for **** just dumping the clutch. Ive got a 9 inch so thats no problem Im just spinning my et streets when I dump it, therefore I have to use the clutch to launch. So the question is what clutches hold up well when you slip the clutch during a launch?
Apparently centerforce isnt one of them....

I welded the PP to the disk to the FW. I was staged too long and it go hot. But let me tell you when I dumped it, it hooked hard as hell and the front had about a foot under with both tires. lol Then I couldn't get it out of first gear. For that I never slipped the clutch again.

Something has to give alittle to get the best 60fts. I netted my best 60ft. from a slipping cluch, NOT slipping the clutch, a "slipping clutch", this was on a stock clutch that finally gave up the ghost, i left at 3000 & let it out hard, normally i leave at 4000, it slipped horribly through 1st. but started gripping as it got hot, all the other times it would hook & bogg & 60ft. was always slower, i wish now i would have gotten a pair of Bias Slicks instead of the DRs. Now i'm going with a puck style cluch, i'm not going to leave any higher then 3000, i'll let the clutch out as quick as possible & go from there.

Slip it like I said before. Look at this list https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-transmission/809101-fastest-six-speed-list.html do you see anybody that posted on this thread towards the top that said dump it? A couple of us towards the top of that list said to slip it, hope you see the relationship between slipping the clutch and those faster times.
