Default help launching

My del sol has the b16 in it and i have a hell of a time launching, if i launch at too high of rpm's i get mad wheel hop and if i launch at too low of rpm's i bog down badly. i was recently at the track and my 60 foot times were pathetic ranging from about 2.6-2.8 . i was told that skunk2 adjustable racing coilovers and some bfg g-force drag radials would help, anything else u guys recomend? any help would be appreciated. thanks

Do you have a LSD tranny?

Try dropping your tire pressure.

Hey man, i told you about the skunk2's and bfgs lol
Its Kopykat from revscene just so ya know
Anyways like i said you could try dropping psi and stuff but on street tires you are limited to like 20 psi lowest anyways since after then they start losing traction because of sidewalls not giving at all.
Do the skunk2s and some sort of good tires, drag radials are recommended for the track...anyways goodluck with the setup man
Oh and an LSD is also a great idea
