Launching on 24x8x13 slicks
At the last race at the track my best time was 13.2 on gsr rims. Speed was at 107 mph. I was launching at 3000 rpm with no traction wheel hop from left to right. But i have slicks now and planning to back to the track. How high should i rev it up to?

yeah that's how you do...
I've been running 6 psi tire pressure, and dumping the clutch at 7500 rpm. I just have to remeber to keep both hands on the wheels when launching.

id have to build the head to get anywhere near those revs at redline and thats what you guys launch at 
As for my old 1.8t GTI 6500 and dump it and hang on

well I launch between 8000-9000rpm depending on the day and my mood. I ran 1.55-1.61 60fts all day with 24.5-9-13's, stock axles, 6psi in the tyres, no bead locks, no wheelie bars and about 230whp all motor and a 1800lb track weight
last time i tried doing a 2nd gear burnout, my clutch started to smoke and smell..
how do u do a proper 2nd gear burn out in the waterbox?

best 60' i ever got was 1.7 sec.
I do a 2nd gear burnout in the water box. I just drop the clutch at about 7000 rpm's and let it go to red line and back off a bit then give it gas again to red line.

yes you have to raise the car to fit the 24.5x9x13. I have to raise mine about two inches, to fit the sliks. Not hard when you have coilovers.

Damm, I wish I could put down those 60's. I average low 1.7's. I'd be really happy with 1.6's.

I guess thats the beauty of N/A. Although I run on the theory that wheelspin in 1st doesnt matter the minute the shift light glows the cars in 2nd which is almost bang on the 60ft mark. I started off running 1.8 60fts then slowly came to the decision that the faster I got out of 1st the faster I was going so I just started launching higher which means I don't drop below about 6500rpm during launching but it also saw my 60fts drop, although the change from 230-270whp saw some minor wheelspin in 2nd.
I have also just put wheel bars on my car and changed my rear spring rates etc to try and drop my 60fts into the low 1.4's if not better. I will post up results and pics of my set-up once I have done some runs and got some testing done. But the testing done the back streets we have done so-far looks promising..

i leave the line between 5300 and 5600rpm (stock axles) building 12-13psi of boost off the 2 step (electromoitve tec III) 60's range between 1.60-1.66.
