maybe this is a stupid question, maybe not. Does it matter based on your setup? Power brake to get the RPMs up to 2k, then let go and gun it? Switch off ESP? I'm stock except for the boltons you see below. No torque converter upgrade yet, how big a diff would that make to how you launch?

thanks!

honestly i would start with mash it...

this year at the track i might "swing" the rpm's up one the second light...

DONT POWER BRAKE youll lose timing...

when playing on the street it seems if i take the slack out of the converter it does much better, but i was doing it by rolling into the gas a little early (while holding the brake)


and yes esp off (but i turn it back on as soon as possible)
