It'll burn your clutch up fast, I wouldn't try it with 3.73s you'll bog to much on nittos. If you had 4.10s it might work although, its defiently not good on the drivetrain.

I don't understand why you would want to launch in second.

Sure you'll have more traction, but you definatly won't accelerate as fast. And yes, it's not good for the drivetrain.
