How to launch without breaking
I am taking my car to the track thursday. This is first time out since Spec stage III and ET Streets. Car is 94 Z28, 6-speed, 3.42 gear, ATI P600b 8# with headers and some other small stuff, stock internals. It ran 8.20 before on street tires and a slipping clutch. Hoping for high 7's without bustin the 7.5.

Seriously, ET streets with an M6 & stage 3 spec isnt a good combo on a stock 10 bolt. I ran with my stock 10 bolt with 4:10's for a while and was fine but that was with an SLP clutch (not a hard hitting clutch) and drag radials. I wouldnt run ET streets with an M6 and a clutch like yours. Best advise if you're going to do that is don't dump the clutch too hard, good luck.

preload the rear . thats what i do when racing my friends car. Heel toe your brake/gas. keep your brakedown firmly, then bring your engine up to the desired rpm(dont get to crazy) then let the clutch out till you feel a bite(preloads front suspension to). then wait for the light and go. It much easier on your rear then just poping the clutch.
edit: for some reason its never failed me and gives me sick short times.

I have a similar problem with my z28, I have an m6, and sometimes i can launch at 2 1/2 revs and take off perfectly, with that wonderful little chirp that lets you know you had a good launch. Other times I'll launch at a liitle under 2 and spin almost through second gear, its horrible.
