Feathering the clutch and using the brakes is one of the most efficient ways to alunch. This keeps your drivetrain preloaded (so it doesn;t receive shock from a clutch drop and break), and it also helps keep you at your torque peak.

Can you elaborate on this please. Also since I have an ACT street/strip clutch would it be able to take the abuse of feathering alot better than a stock clutch.

Hey Doty! Waz up man I'm in town Tues I'll see u at the school-we racing. But any ways, I found in my N/A dumping the clutch at 3500-4500 is a good launch, with little tire spin, but I'll use Dotys gtech on tues and see what my 60 is.
