I launch about 5500 to 6000 with sliping it out.. it got me constant 2.0'. dropping it real hard just seems to cause major whell spin for me.

try to let it out easily

I launch between 7k and 7500, and slip the clutch.

I can get 2.1's no problem, probably better if I practiced more.

i use to launch at around 5500-7000 rpms when I was NA. Slide the clutch a lil and drop. Dont jus drop it or youll spin like crazy. What I mean by just slide is slowly disengage until your car starts moving then drop.

Yes, but slowly..... and ride it a little bit so you don't bog down and out of the power band.

before you actually start slipping the clutch...do u hold the rpms at 7k, or do u let them go up and start slipping as they get closer to 7k?

I hold it at 7, then when the last yellow light show's up, I start to slip the clutch hard and floor it.

It's like starting up a hill, but letting all hell loose.

I spin until it grips at 6-7000 rpm. Very little wheelhop because I drop the pressure in the front tires to around 17 psi.
