I'll bump them up to 38 or so and try again!!
It's not your tire pressure because I drag my Stock tires at 25 PSI...I drive normal with 35-38 PSI.

OK then, with my 6100rpm and Slow Clutch release what's causing the BOG then??

Sheer lack of skill. This is how you do it:

Warrtalon's 12.000

I agree with warr, you say that you launch with a slow releash of the clutch, try slipping it fast and I mean fast. Fast does not mean dump as well. Practice practice pratice you'll get it man.

He could adjust those, too, but do you want some random joe trying to tune your car? That's very dangerous. Also, changing the launch control point doesn't even matter. If you can't launch it from 6k or whatever with the launch control disconnected, then you have other issues.

No issues, I Re-Connected the Launch Limiter, and THIS TIME, after doing some searching, found that if you Floor (or really get into) the gas while it bounces off the 5000rpm limiter you can REALLY build boost, so Oviously I tried that and built dam near 10 pounds of boost and WALLA, Car went SIDEWAYS Smoking all four and came out HARD!! Lowered the Tire pressure back down to 29psi, and this time only Slight Wheelspin and GONE!!!

Gonna run my buddies Turbo Buick tonight (Mid 12 car) that usually '60's at 1.75-1.80 with Drag radials and line up for a few 1/8th mile passes...We'll see!!
