Best way to launch an SS M6?

Any tips, suggestions out there? it seems as though if i launch any higher then 3k rpm i get too much wheel hop/spinning. if i launch any lower i get a bogging sensation.

Can anyone explain the correct way to launch these things??


Thanks!

You have to become comfortable with slipping the clutch some...

Are you just dumping at 3k? That's bad news.

My richmond gears from doing that:

ease the clutch out on your launch, maybe buy some trailing arms to get rid of wheel hop, make sure to heat the tires up enough and drop the psi

here is a video of my car this past weekend..this is after installing BMR trailing arms. No wheel hop at all. Launching the car at 3500rpm..right lane

did you just install the trailing arms? what about the toe bars?

Yes the only change I made to the suspension was installing BMR trailing arms
