Default Launching my turbo 4th gen

whats up guys?

I was hoping you could give some tips on launching my turbo lude.
I am racing my brothers MR2 this weekend. I have not drag raced my prelude much and need all the help I can get since MR2 launch really well. I am running about 14 psi , and even with regular driving it looses all traction as soon as I hit boost, never mind reving 5K and poping the clutch.

Please give me some launching techniques.

I will be using street tires

dont feather the clutch, u'll burn the damn clutch up! u gotta dump the clutch at a good rpm where theres not too much wheelspin, and if theres too much spin, u feather the gas.
