Launch w/ an M6????

I tried searching but it didn't help too much....What's the trick w/ launching w/ an M6?? Every once in a while I get it right. (Specs in sig) I just have to get off the line then I got it from there. 'I' think I can shift lighning fast but that dosen't help w/ the launch, that and I only have a 10 bolt in the rear that will be replaced when the car is payed off...(soon)....triyng to be somewhate jentle w/ it.
I love the adrenaline rush....UUGHH!!

I just rev it to 5k and dump the clutch on MT DRs at 20PSI, dead hooked. I figure the stock clutch hates me now but it ran the times in the sig and no other mods, stock everything (nearly).

I bring it up to about 3000-3500 and hold it there and let up quickly on the clutch. Not dropping the cluth. Once the car is moving well, you can quickly roll into full throttle.

John Force burnout , any drag tire will do, 12psi, above 3,000rpm, dump the clutch, nail the gas when the car moves. Work you way up higher rpm's each run. I had 3.42 gears so 5000rpm was an order for a 1.86 60', now with 4.11 gears , same thing but 4200-4500rpm dump 1.70 60', car doesn't bogg anymore.
