I need to work on my sixties and i wanted to know how everyone launches. I just hold the tach at 2 g's and dump the clutch on the 3rd yellow. Do I need to be letting it out slower to avoid spinning or what? Let me know.

With my street tires and on a half-*** prepped track i rev and hold mine to 2500-2800 and dump the clutch, feathering has always hurt my ET's
BTW: i hope you have a clutch for the ET streets cuz my 245 Nitto's slip my stock one!<b>Black</b> 1998 Pontiac <i>Firebird</i> A-4 swap<br />271.4rwhp/259.4rwtq NA<br />13.30@102.44 <br /><a href=\"http://www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98\" target=\"_blank\">www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98</a>

I know it is terrible for your clutch but on the steet i have had better luck with a bit of feathering. Rev till about 35-3700 and let out the clutch. It is a very fine line for me between just dumping the clutch and feathering. My launch seems hardest if i am able to let the clutch out just heavy enough to get a very small amount of wheel spin.

thanks for trying to explain it though. I went to milan yesterday and still couldn't do better than 2.3. It motivated me though. I was at the machine shop getting my bearings pressed on early this morning. Now all i need is a day without rain, or at least 3 hours of no rain anyways.96 3.8 red camaro. <br />headers,cam,valve springs,retainers,auburn lsd,3.73 gears,SLP cold air,accel coils,24lb injectors,8mm plug wires,air temp module,LT1 diveshaft,removed a/c,edelbrock torque arm,spohn LCA\'s and PHR

Practice is the key.
I dump the neon
I've dumped pathogen and smoked the tires
Sometimes a car likes to be dumped or slipped.
It depends on the suspension and tireRace car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6

When I take off in my 5speed, I'm usually sitting right at 2 grand.. I let out the clutch fast enough to have it fully catch within about a half second.. With my open diff, I'm getting slight wheel spin for maybe 3 feet, then it hooks up. But I also have 275s in the rear..2001 Camaro, 3.8 v6. Five speed. Red.

I'll see if I have some free time tomorrow, problem is I might not be able to do it right... I have been having some clutch problems as of recently [img]smile.gif[/img]
If I do I am gonna have to send via AIM... It will be too big for me to upload, unless someone can host it for me...

I start lettig it slow then at the last second I am dumping it... Its hard to explain... its sort of a quick feathering of the clutch.Jordan<br />15.09@90.7<br /><a href=\"http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=21\" target=\"_blank\"><b>1995 Camaro 3.4 M5</b></a>
