Im downloading the video now. Im assuming this car is boosted? How much power you making? With my b16 turbo on 11psi i was making 275whp and only managed a 13.1 at 111. I figured that launching seemed best at 6000rpms but didnt have a chance to try higher rpm launch...My car is good for mid 12s just have to have get it there. I also bog in 2nd gear bad.

Are you dumping the clutch or slipping it?

Those tires are a bit too big for your hp. Try some more tire pressure and launching at a higher rpm.
Are you building boost coming out of the hole?

I'll try more pressure and higher RPM and no I'm not really boosting out of the hole

Any tire spin at the begining? Maybe smoke them up a little more.
