change your motor mounts and shocks.....they both suck.

i think they're joking with you man. 11,000 is redline sport-bike territory.

i launch around 3,000 and chirp a lil' bit. i have crappy tires though.

just go out to an empty parking lot b/c what you're asking for is pretty much circumstantial. everyone will have diff. preferences as to what a good launch is as well as having diff. mods.

wheel spin or wheel hop?

every driver is different. if i launch at 2,000 rpms, you may not like that. it is how comfortable you feel doing it. if you spin, lower the launch rpm's until you do not spin.

I agree with him, launching is gonna suck until you get these done.

yeppp exactly.. play wit ur launch ,see where ur car gets traction @ which rpm..i like to kind of preload the clutch alil till i feel the car move jus a tad and hold on the ebrake and ease off the clutch instead of jus dumping the clutch..but practice makes perfect..so get on the "TRACK" of course and practice..dont do it on the street..lol
