ran for the 1st time. i suck
With a 2.0 60 foot you are probably bogging.
If you have a boost gauge you need to make sure you are not launching in vacuum.
You can pulse the throttle a bit and time it to the lights.
I have had my car for 3 months now and that was the hardest thing to understand about vacuum. In an NA car you just rev and go.

Get a tune as soon as possible. Having an untuned intake and all those other mods is just wasting your time. Your shift point is fine, but you have to actually launch. Do a quick slip from nothing lower than 5k rpm.
Wow you have some extremely interesting mods there, are you just running a catback (a HKS at that)!?!?
I mean I doubt you are really that much more powerful than stock, maybe 30-40WHP, which isn't that bad, but considering money spent, it is. You could make as much or more with just a Flash and TBE. Also don't launch at 4K, why waist your time with such a lack luster launch, maybe your trying to save the clutch? Then you shouldn't be racing.

Evilevo, I've explained the quickslip method in many, many threads. To find my explanation with drag video, do an advanced search for threads I've started in the Drag Racing forum. Look for the one titled "Evo > C5" or whatever it is...
