try slipping the clutch a bit more... bad for the clutch but a bit better for wheel hop on my car.
If you dont like slipping i found higher to be better.
Tried 3k and i would bog. 3.5... bog 4 k wheelhop... 4.5 less wheelhop... 5k no wheelhop but too much wheelspin.
4.5k with a bit of clutch slip and no wheelhop/not much wheelspin and a 2.0 60ft with shitty no name all season tires.

ok I get better 60 ft times (2.1 in an NA with just intake and exhaust) when I launch at 6.5k no clutch slip but lots of wheel spin but i guess thats ok with those 60ft times right?

haha... yah slipping the clutch at the track isnt recommended if you have a stock organic disc and dont feel like doing a clutch job any time soon. I think those launches glazed my disc.
On my NA i would launch at 4.5k on the street and let it spin more because it had no torque... with the t2 setup i have to launch between 3k - 3.5k on the street otherwise 1st gear is just useless wheelspin. The above post was for launching on a much sticker track surface.
