launch at like 4500 rpms.. hold your rpm steady while you slip the clutch in, your gonna feel wheel spin as soo as it starts gripping hard, the clutch SHOULD be almost out, then give it gas and if your hopping, you need to jsut keep trying till you find a good way to launch. low rpms launches may get you that 2.2 60ft but your mph will be lower. you need to get a 2.2 from a high launch and get a good mph at the 60, shift as fast as you can. hold your gears out as long as you can.. i dunno what other tips to give you.. STOCK RIMS! 17's suck for wheel hop. you can lock up and get a good 60-ft sometimes, but your 1/4 mile will be off by .3 or so. i have racinghart cp-35's they weight 16.5 lbs, and im gonna run the 18lb stockers next time cause the unspun weight is closer in and requires less tq to push em. i hope i helped a little. oh DO NOT burn out street tires. i just graze mine like for .5 seconds to get dirt and rocks off them, and any burn out water. street tires dont grip better like drag radials when they are hot.
