Good luck. All the tire spin. Should save you from breaking anything. Just get out of it. If you feel wheelhop.

I’m running the MT ET Street R radial tires with a roush setup and MT82. My first couple passes I launched from an idle to see if the tires would hold power in first gear. This yields about a 1.8 60ft. I worked my way up to 4500 to 5000 slipping launch. Which I can pull consistent 1.6x 60 ft. With launching a heavy car, you can’t just drop the clutch. Something has to give to accelerate the car. A stock clutch won’t last very long with a launching slip. Mine started to slip after the first time at the strip. I have a McLeod RXT twin disk now with about 30 passes on it and it’s flawless.

Nice thing is a PD blower is perfect for a idle launch due to the fact you’re making almost full torque at about 2500 to 3000 rpm.
