yup street tires 195/60r14 anything less than 5000 i get mad wheel hop cause i just dump the clutch

i have front and rear upper strut braces, rear lower tie bar, CAI, hi flow cat, cat back exhaust, tokico blue shocks, rs type coilovers with 2 1/2 in drop last time i launched i had no lower tie bar and tokico springs instead of coilovers with a 1 in drop

why is something wrong with that??

i found 4k worked the best for me on street tires... a nice clean launch...a little chirp and that was it..... no excessive spinning and no bogging

I once tried (my only time) launch at 3500 to 4000 and it was not a bad start.
