Civic EX Firestone stock tires inflated to 30psi, I am launching at 5.0-6.0k and getting 2.3ish 60fts on a good launch...the car is bone stock, not even I/H/E.

i'm running nitto 555r's on 14 inch aluminum acura rims at 25 psi. my 60 ft time average is a 2.1. i hold the rpms at 5500 and feather the clutch. the car still spins but if it doesn't stuff breaks. anyhow that's what works for me

I launch at like 5k...but when the tires start gripping more i launch a tad higher. This is on street tires. Oh i usually don't go full throttle till it grabbs. This is with i/h/e/cams.

Lower the pressure down to like 18psi, then do a really good burnout and smoke them up nicely...launch at around 6000rpm
