You could try to launch around 1500rpm and feathering out the clutch to limit wheel spin

If you have Nitto 555Drag radials you should heat them up and I would try launching at about 2000 and take it up each time until they spin and then go back to the rpm's where you were able to get a good launch with no slipping and hopping.

I have the 555 Extremes, not the drag radials. I probably should have bought the drag radials, but I do a lot of highway driving, so i figured they wouldnt last as long.

I just ordered the 315 drags for the back and when my fronts go I will probally go with extremes in the front. My brother has a foxbody with the drags in the back and it is his daily driver and he says they grip rain or shine

i'll tell u how not to launch. around 3 grand and dump the clutch. thats good for about a 16 sec run. my best run was almost 1000-1200 rpm easing the clutch out. still learning though. it's tough.
