WHAT??? If I read that correctly you are totally way off, I bounce of the LC untill I see 8-10lbs of boost and then slip it, If you don't have LC then just blip the throttle at a certain RPM and start slipping

put it in gear, then do what you are doing. BUT! for the love of god don't launch your car at 55-6500 you'll snap your TC into 2 pieces.

why would you put into neutral and rev the engine then shift into gear when it drops too 5500, who taught you how to launch like that? the funniest thing i've ever heard.
