Default Those with lightened flywheels, how do you launch?

Just wondering because I just got my Clutchmaster Stage 1 and aluminum flywheel. I also got some new Falken Azenis. I just went out to a lonely road and was really surprised. I slipped the clutch from about 3,500 and the clutch and tires grabbed immediately and I ended up kind of bogging. I was really surprised. With my stock clutch and Goodyear Eagle HP's I used to slip from 2,500 rpm. My best 60' time was 2.31 and I have stock suspension too.

So do I need to be slipping higher? Or should I be dumping? I abandoned dumping on my old set-up because the tires just didn't hook and I bounced off my rev limiter. I'm shooting for 60' times of 2.1-2.2 seconds. Any suggestions?

Yup, i had the same problem, its the light weight flywheel. Just launch in your power band but dont spin the tires to hell. Try letting the clutch go a little bit harder and feather the long pedal so you dont hit your fuel cut off.
