No need with the right tires.
I have those tires. Well the problem is hooking in 1st more than anything now, even with good prep.

I'm at 850RW, and my hooks on the strip and on the street. 10R80/3.55 gears.

Then I must be doing something wrong, maybe a little more power but not much. I'd like to see some videos of 1st gear launch on the street.

Unfortunately, it is 19 degrees here, and it is hibernating for the winter. Tires and Stop the hop starter kit is all I have for traction. What size/brand tires are you using? Best I can do for now: one track launch. Only made one run that day. Hooked so good I red lighted. LOL.

MTRs, 315/50/17s. In all fairness I did not get much of a chance last couple trips to adjust the suspension for 1st gear leave, and I was able to run 1.4 60s from 2nd. I will try again, another 10th on the leave would move me closer to 8s. On the street 2nd gear I have to feather it some, it will break loose; and I do have the suspension set for street digs.

I.might have the 305/45s, can't remember and not at home.
