Would launching at 2k and slipping it work better?? What about the throttle, after slipping some go you just put it on the floor?? My car is pretty much bone stock so I don't have that much power.
Re-read Fred (Injuneers) post. Get out there and experiment, try a few different things and you will learn something - take notes, this will help a lot.

Re: M6 and Drag Radial Launching

Yea its hard to practice when I only get one or two times at the track a month. Launching it on the street I can't tell what my 60ft is.

are you hot lapping the clutch? No clutch will hold through hotlapping!!! And to the launching if you have anything besides a 10 bolt launch that bitch 1600-3000 isnt going to net you a good 60 at all you have to leave hard ! I have a 9in and will be leaving and dumping the clutch at 5600 last year i was leaving at 3500-4000 and it would bogg all to hell with 1.7-1.8 60s.

I hot lapped like crazy stock,20-30 runs a day with no problem on stock tires.

With HP and Drag Radials I would still get 15-20 runs a day without problem!!!!
