I have an 8 you have a 9.also I know a guy that has a 9 rs with an hks hardpipe, tbe and a tune running 12.2's consistently. you only ran a 12.4 with more mods? how are you gonna call me slow?
A few tips ...
1) Don't baby the clutch on the launch. When the slack is gone from the drivetrain, get off the clutch quickly!
2) Leave on the 3rd yellow, not on the green. This will lower your R/T. You have ~7" of rolling room before you trip the lights if you stage correctly.
3) Stage "shallow" (where the second set of staging lights are just coming on) for the best trap speed and ET. This basically gives you a running start.
4) Shift above 6800 or so. I've gotten the best results in my MR shifting at ~7200, but it will be different in your 5 speed. Try different shift points and watch your trap speed to figure out the best shift point.
Good luck on future trips!

the stock clutch cant handle a good launch with that much power,BTW,i cut consistant 1.7/1.6s with it.....to the OP,it takes some time so keep praticing and read up on launching
The launch sucked, the time is weak, the mph is weak, and you posted in the wrong forum. So what? Go back and do it again - you'll get better. Never go if you only get one run and never go if you're not going to launch. It's absolutely worthless if you don't launch hard enough to get 1.7 60's.
