one thing you can do is have your alignment done to remove most of your neg camber in the rear, that helps with launch traction about as much as the tire you buy. especially if you have wide *** tires, all that extra width isnt even on the ground unless you get your camber flat.

also, a really good clutch helps too... because if you setup the car to hook up amazing, it doesnt have enough HP to pull thru the launch without bogging unless you do a hard slip on the clutch.... stock clutch will not last long like that.
Ya I don't know if I like the not much help on the launches for that is key in the 1/4. Now is that something I ask for when they are doing the alignment when I get my RE-11's? How will that affect my daily driving? The rear is going to be 285/35. The clutch should be good for I am having the JWT clutch flywheel combo installed and yes with the upgraded csc.
