Well I decided to take my car out with a buddy and practice some launching. I have never done so before really, I left the tires at full air pressure for this time and on the Outside of the car I had it at 4k and slipped the clutch a bit. In car was also 4k but dumping. My tires are et street radials 275/50's which hook up hard if Iam doing say literally a 5 mph roll on but will spin all of 2nd and about 15 ft in 3rd. The tires were hot for these, on the outside car video I did a small burnout before the taping started and on the in car I just cleaned the tires off quick. I will be taking it to the track at some point but would like to have some sort of a idea on how to launch the car before I go(2 1/2 hours one way). This is my first vechile with any sort of power, Iam 18 so I have lots of time to practice but if you guys have any tips, on launching shifting etc it would be great.

Here is the out of car shot:

This is tech but It is relivent, If you notice my cars fuel pressure goes up to almost 80 at WOT about 5k. For my mods, powerdyne 6 psi, edelbrock intake, 30lb injectors, full exhaust etc shouldnt it be more around 60 psi at WOT? I have a regulator I can adjust to bring it down. Sorry mods if you decide to move this.
