Yes, my technique is the same: brake on hard, throttle up, release, leave and floor it.

With the turbos the HP level has somewhat of a mind of its own. The hp and torque aren't directly related to foot pressure as it starts to build boost. So, you have to be careful to NOT get to the point of spinning at the line (or pushing you forward).

Each car has a bit different personality, but I'm certainly aware that my best 60' (1.86") is still sleepy. (Best street tire 2.09", best OEM torque converter: 2.05").

After this exhaust switch (soon) I"ll return.

Keep at it. I like this thread.

Got it, thanks! Looks like that point for me is around 2k rpm.
