I havnt made enough passes in the car to really know, im launching off the handbrake and when I went out for the first time it was my first time actually launching and racing the car... I just got a little bit more comfortable with it and was able to shift second a little sooner I think it may have let me get into fourth sooner to pick up some mph??? racing the v8s usually motivates me pretty good.. and the dude driving the tempest in my 11.62 pass just looked like one of those "big block" guys that ya love to beat

I tried couple of times.when you stage your car apply hand brake,use launch control and slowly release the clutch until you feel car wants to go.this way you preload the drive train.release the clutch and drop hand brake at the same time.

Not really cause you do all this when last orange light turns on before green.its like split second but it needs practice.different drivers might do it differently but that's how I do.

I bump the first beam, set the brake and let the clutch out slow till it wants to go...bump the second beam and just hold the clutch right at the point of engagement, and I just put it to the floor and drop the brake and come off the clutch as fast as I can...I like a pro tree much better then the three lights but each car is going to be different just need to make sure you stay in boost! I don't think ill be making any more passes this season I messed up the front diff out goofing off on wet pavement

What was the temperature when tuned and when you went to the track?
