Default Help me improve!!!

Ok, last night I ran my car w/my new turbo set up for the 1st time. It was like 100 degrees out, and I'm not used to the clutch. It's a 95GSR w/an Innovative T3/T4, MSD ignition, ACT Clutch, RC Engineering Injectors, Edelbrock Intake Manifold, Hondata S100....Anyway, it has 255 horsepower at the wheels, running on 7lbs of boost. Last night I ran w/my 17 inch rims, with full air pressure in the tires. I only got in two runs (it was insanely busy), and my best run was a 14.4 at 100mph, but the tires spun a lot at the start (Took off at about 4000rpm). I'm taking all advise on how I can get this time down to possibly a 14.0

Launch at an rpm that's going to give you 0.5-1 seconds of wheelspin, and use PART THROTTLE until the car hooks. Don't give it full gas if it's gonna break loose! Time wasted spinning is time you can't make up anywhere else in the run.
