To get the best with what you have to work with, big Hp, limited traction, and hopefully a clutch that holds; YOU MAY WANT TO TRY LAUNCHING IN "SECOND" GEAR A FEW TIMES AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT FOR YA.
PS: I saw a stick 800+ rwhp mustang pick up a half second on the very next pass starting in second gear. He had traction problems too even with slicks. He launched the car at a rpm that did not bog or spin, its better to have a slight spin than bog.
You know, I had thought about that. on the pit road I even pulled over after a run and tried to see what a normal start felt like in 2nd gear. I know I wasn't revving it but it didn't seem like it was going to work better without frying my clutch.

Wow great run what did u launch at and did u let off the clutch Slowly
Nice, good time for that power. M7 Z06 have trouble running that with 100 more hp.
Actually I was wrong. It was 442 rwhp / 451 rwtq was the last pull.
I had 454 rwhp on one of the previous runs, but that was some tire spin and it catching in the high rpms that made a false reading.
Just dynoed it today with our flex fuel conversion, she put down a little more power across the board - I'm excited to go back to the track and see what she runs! =)

Your sapose to be getting anywhere from 25 to 40WHP on E85

Depends on how your car runs with gas. If you are not near the end of your octane running like 25 degrees and virtually no where to raise it to, you won't see much. If you are only running like 18 degrees and can bump it to 25, you'll be making a huge gain. Pretty much double on boost!
