Slip it or Dump it? M6 guys chime in!
After blowing up my old 10 bolt a few weeks ago I now have a Moser 9 on the way from EPP. My question is launching the car now that I actually can. In the past I always had to "baby" the old 10 bolt on my launches which would only net around a 1.85-1.90 60ft. I am ready to get on down with the 1.60 boys and girls so I can actually see what my car will do in the 1/4 mile. In the past I would always preload the 10 bolt until I felt the car barely move then I would launch the car so at least the drivetrain would have some pressure on all components. Now that I have the Moser 9 with the PST 3.5 DS I want to know the best way to launch the car for the best 1/4 times.
Quick Run Down - roughly 400rwhp street car, MT ET Streets, LS7 clutch kit, LCAs, PHB, SFCs, Adj TA, Moser 9.
Thanks!

We have very similar setups and I was dumping the clutch at around 4800 until I gernaded the Tru Trac in my 9". My LS7 clutch was also starting to slip at the track. My car has a spool and 35 spline axles now and I plan on swapping out the LS7 clutch for a Mcleod twin disk over the winter and dumping it at 5000-5500 next year. BTW my best E.T. and 60' with the LS7 clutch and Tru Trac posi are in my sig.

Thanks for the replies, I feel I'm really going to have to drive it like I stole it to bust 11s na. So far it seems that the vote goes to Dump It! Any other suggestions on the launch?

When I had my 6 speed I dumped the clutch about 3800 to 4000 and let off the gas and used the clutch on every shift. I wasn't about to blow a tranny to knock a tenth of a second off. My best 60' was a 1.53.
