Good burnout, proper tire pressure and a clean road surface. On a clean concrete street after a burnout, I can hook on nitto drag radials.

Well as for the Honda stop light racing, thats not what I'm talking about.

I have a set of Hoosier 27x11.5 QTPs. I can do a good burnout and even with VHT it still will not grab. I only have a 3500 stall in a TH400. No nitrous either.

I can ease into the gas and it will hold. If I try to stall it up at all it will spin all through first and part of second.

I seen that guy Steven, AKA WORMBOY, luanch stalling up to 2500-3500 RPMs and pull the wheels on the street.

???????

what are you stalling your launch up to?
i feel it may be best to lower your rpms until you feel your tires will support the launch and then bury the pedal instead of straight out of the hole. best of luck with whatever you try.
