You launches sucked. Plenty of room for improvement with driving technique and a tire change. Shifting just before the traps like you were always kills mph. Put a 26" bias on it or get you some 3.73 or 3.90 gears.
Need to pick the throttle up faster to. You're launching at a high idle.

the only reason to slip ANY clutch is to reduce the amount of torque applied to the drivetrain. IT DOES NOTHING ELSE.
SO..if a fellah has a suspension that works.......and has tires that cam apply the torque and horsepower the engine makes....why the **** would you slip clutches and reduce applied torque unless the engine is overpowering the chassis and tires.
i mean DUH.
there IS a place to use a converter that has a lot of slip built in, but that converter also has multiplication in infinitely variable ratios.
IE... one of the fastest C6Zs i have ever seen with my eyes had a 6600 rpm converter(i think) and ***** on almost everything on motor. i cant remember the EXACT stall, but Goddamned that isnt right.

hey dude, you are where i want my B headed beast, but do NOT have the tolerant wife to let me spend the time and money to get there. you should try being a man who built a billet engine to the same basic spec as YOU, and not have the support and resources to complete the chassis and drivetrain to run high 7's like my KILLER b headed terbo was built for.
my terbo is a 1000rwhp spec engine. cams, and ported stock 96 COBRO intake manifold are my only short comings. enjoy your car. there are folks out there who simply cannot build the supporting mods for a 281 inch 1200rwhp mod motor.
you are the man dude. i wish we could pull our motors....put them on a dyno with the same turbo, a modded 96 intake and let them eat. i think your studs are better than mine. i'm using 8740s. that might be where you get me lol.

Hiollary thinks a clutch can multiply TQ now?

Conservation of momentum.
Engine is making only a wee little bit of torque in free rev before launch, but the flywheel has a lot of stored energy at high rotating speed. Dumping the clutch couples a fast spinning flywheel with stationary tires and you get an impulse that generates gobs of torque (literally as much as the clutch or tires can hold before slip) for a short period of time.

Well we know you didn't.
