well its gonna be tricky with 4.10s, cause thats some serious power right away... anyway, I posted a similar topic and KillerCanary basically told me to ride the hell out of the clutch and figure out how clutch slippage works in my car. After taking his advice and practicing alot at stoplights and such I got it pretty much down. Of course me havin 3.27s in there makes it less likely for me to spin then you...

The easier way to do it is to buy slicks. If that is not in the cards, I would do a little burnout just to clean the tires and warm them up slightly. Leave the line off idle, and feather into the gas slightly more than you would on the street. Keep doing this using more and more throttle every single time untilt he tires bust loose. You want to put the tires "on the edge" of busting loose. There really isn't a good way to launch with such a steep gear on street tires.

I run Nitto Drag Radials. With those i bring it up to about 3700 or so and then slip the clutch that seems to work best.
