The best setup is to be able to drop the clutch and get the tires to rotate 2-3 revolutions at a controlled spin and then it hooking. This is all adjusted with the tire pressure and the burnout you do. With the right combo you will have the best 60ft.
The reason I said for him to try riding the clutch is because from his video he bogs. So yeah him dropping the clutch out of the hole is getting him out of boost (again this comming from what I seen in the video)rb25drag wrote:I would not slip the clutch at all!

Then you are doing it wrong or you have a weak clutch. You want ZERO tire spin. You need to learn how to make your clutch act like a torque converter.rb25drag wrote:I would not slip the clutch at all! I have tried it and it made my 60's worse by nearly a full second.

I have a 1500$ Cusco exedy, Stg 4 clutch, rated for 800hp, My car makes 400-420 @ the wheels according to the temps/elevation, I have pulled anywere from 1.6-1.7 60's by dropping the clutch with the correct tire pressure. Everytime i have (rode) the clutch, i have yet to get better than a 2.2 60FT.jc0526 wrote:

From the first vide the driver is clearly just dumping the clutch and does not have the power to pull through the launch.
Agreed!! Spin equals less stress on the drivetrain. I just need a anti lag. If i had that everything would have been good. If i dont get it this coming season then ill probably up the tire pressure. Great threadrb25drag wrote:

ZERO tire Spin = Broke parts!! I have Broke way more parts then you have im sure racing! If you do not get a little spin, You will stress out ur drivetrain. The weakest Link will always Break, Then you get into alot of $$$ For no extra ET:
You should watch more Professional racers, You will see that ALL of them have controlled tire spin.
So I know what is Required for a good launch at the track, I agree that his car lacked of power to pull threw the BOGG But he could of EASILY fixed the bogg by changing his tire pressure. If he RIDES his clutch all he is going to do is burn the clutch up, its going to Heat up extremely hot from the launch and the Pressure plate is going to become weak. all that is going to solve is a Headache in changing a new clutch in the future.
