You need to launch it at @ 4000-4500 rpm with that turbo. 3 is too low and 6 is too high. it will spin for awhile but it will be fast. Do not "heat up" the tires(spin them) prior to running if you are using street tires. You will have to "feather" the throttle in first and most likely second gear to control the wheelspin.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I'm launching at 5000 or 6000rpm. At 6000rpm it's massive wheelspin bounching off the rev limiter. I can let off, but the tires are too slippery to get good grip for the rest of the run. At 5000rpm it'll spin for a bit and bog. I drive around the waterbox on street tires and do not do any burnouts.
I tried about 10 runs with different techniques, and trust me, it's really tough with the current setup. Maybe if I get drag slicks and launch at 6000rpm it'll spin a bit and catch at 4000rpm, but with drag slicks I can guarantee 1st gear being gone after a few runs, with my CV joints popping a little before that =).
