burn em up till you choke and pass out. then when you wake up, you should be good to go. I usually burn them pretty good, unless the track is prepped really good, then a few seconds is usually enough. +1 on what Half Fast said

Mods are as follows..


!cats
TSP rumbler catback
Whisper lid w/k&n
FRA
TB bypass
!EGR

its a M6 and my tires are 245/50/16 Nitto 555r

I only run about 20 in mine on a regular basis... for street launches the car hooks from where ever I let go of the clutch at, but mine are a little bigger.

sometimes the track is prepped so well at bmp, that a burn out is not even needed. I normally just get em hot, just a quick burn out, no need to sit there and waste valuble tire away.

1000-1500 rpms less than what you would launch at on a well preped track, i.e. if you launch at 4500 at the track try launching at 3000-3500 on the street.

got my car running good and I got the drag radials mounted and I must say ... traction is night and day now... I'm happier then a pig in shit.


I can slam my car at 25 now and it will actually stick.. power shift 1st to 2nd and only get a chirp now.. its Phenomenal.
