The general consensus is reflected in what you see . Set your launch RPM clutch and tires so it spins about 1 time as it moves forward. Yes if you turn the launch down enough it should dead hook .
Our car goes the fastest if you launch at the higher rpms but if you spin too much it may become inconsistent. Others could have different experiences.
Jerry thank you very much for the video. Had too watch it [about 5 times] this morning as it wouldn't come in clear enough to enjoy it last night. ---Trevor
