Cool run. Car looks sweet, but you need to launch @ about 5500-6000!!

I'd say go with 6000, 6 speeds look bad *** launching if they hook. They look like a raging tiger w/ his *** on fire when the clutch dumps.

how big are those tires, i really didn't look to close.

try higher rpm launch obviously. if you still bog the car then you need to evaluate your gear and tire selection..i.e--may need more gear or less tires

Get a good clutch and that will help transfer all that power to the ground to overcome the bogging. If your clutch is slipping really bad then you aren't getting all your power to the wheels; thus the traction is overcomming the power level.

Isn't it bad to launch your car off the rev limiter?
