Launching Issues - need some advise.

[90mustangGT]

Launch under 2000rpm = the car hooks, front come up, rpm's drop and it bogs.
Launch over 2000rpm = Tire spin.
Drop clutch fast = weight tranfers but at low rpm's it bogs, high rpm's tires spin.
Slip clutch = weight does not transfer well, tires spin.
What works best is to start at about 1500rpm and press down the gas as I let off the clutch in a controlled drop but it still tends to bog.

Should I just keep practicing launching or is a certian part hurting me. I am thinking the 275/40R17 Nitto's don't have enough sidewall. Another thing that I can think of is the HPM Megabite JR's being set to the upper hole, which puts them on their 85% level. Maby set them to the 135% level to get the tires to hit the pavment better, although the suspension might start to unload, the weight should be transfered.

Any suggestions, please do.

I've pulled a 2.08 60 ft. (w/ bolt-ons, full exhaust, and 373's) on 245/50/16 radials...I brought the rpms to 2000 and when the light turns green...I give it a bit more gas and a little slip and I'm off...

I've always seemed to have the best look doing a little slip on radials...but you have DR's and could be a different scenario...

1.8s are respectable numbers. I had the my best 60fts side stepping the clutch at around 4000. stock suspension though.
good luck

sorry, that was a 85 302,t-5, not my 87.

I'm just going to have to keep on trying new things I guess. I am going to try putting the controll arms on the other level to try to get it to hit the pavment harder.

Just play around with it...the car that is.
