First launch on my CM stage 3

I have a Clutch Masters Stage 3, SS clutch line, and the restrictor removed. I launched for the first time tonight on my clutch. All I can say is Wholly Molly, LOL. I blipped the throttle to 3000 rpms then I blipped it to 5000 rpms, let it out a little for a millisecond, it started to bite, then I simultaneously mashed the gas and let the clutch out imediately all in one motion so that the clutch came out completely and the gas hit the floor at the same time. The car instantly shot out of the hole with the ps front tire leaving about 20 feet of rubber behind. I am convinced that the clutch didn't slip at all. I didn't smell any clutch burn either and the clutch was very solid even after the run. Wish I could have timed my 0-60. Has to be less then 5 seconds. The clutch grapped hard as hell and my rpms didn't drop below 4000. It was awesome. These cars are amazing. I can say that there is a huge difference between the stock clutch and this one, also the restrictor removal and ss line is a must. Gives you so much more control.
I will try to get the video up we shot when I launched.

I have the same setup as you bp and I launched for the first time tonight at 5k. All 4 tires lit up and I nearly had a heart attack.

This CM stage3 is ****ing amazing. No clutch smell either and grabbed like a true beast.
