2-step for sure.....i went out and practiced my launching on a "closed track"! and one thing i never thought about was watching the tach while launching! it was alot easier watching the tach while slipping it out and just trying to keep the rpm up

The last few times I was at the track and hitting 1.7 60' times I was trapping 109 mph. My car is basically stock (mods in sig). If you have a custom tune or any cams/ turbo work done you might have a little more in the top end. Hope that helps a little.

I have better results without the 2-step. IMHO, it is better used on a prepped track surface like on test and tune days. Then you can lower your tire pressures and work on a 2-step launch.
I just float the rpms just below the 2 step and get little wheel spin depending on how I work the clutch. I usually knock off 1.7's without too much clutch wear. After all those 1.7 launches, I still have my stock clutch.
With your mods you should be in the low 13's, possibly dipping into the 12's even without a tune. I had fewer mods and I kicked off a 13.1@97mph.
Practice, practice.

well to tell you the truth your trap is a bit low. Nevertheless if you manage to get a decent launch your time will drop significantly!
