I saw in one of your videos you using the e-brake. How exactlyddoes that help your launch?

It loads the drivetrain / suspension, this helps with not shocking the tire so bad therefore not breaking parts.

It does work good once you fine tune your procedure. I can't take the credit for this though I saw this posted from a Camaro 5 guy that was from the Atco NJ area.

Yes. It was a stock driveline, but Upgraded to a twin carbon Street Slayer clutch.

I am getting ready to install the same clutch. How do you like it? I was told that the clutch doesn't like to be slipped/feathered off the line. Are you feathering it?
