I bought the tires...
I bought some M/T ET street radials.

Now I need some pointers on how to launch my car so that I do not break the rear end.
I am guessing its not a very good idea to just dump the clutch. What RPM do you guys rev to when you launch the car?

I didn't break anything until I went to the Mcleod clutch. I made a lot of passes with BFG drag radials on the stock clutch with no breakage of parts.
You still planning on going out March 1st?

I usually dump mine about 3K but at your power level, even with drag radials, you are gonna have to be lower than that probably. BUT I was using the BFG's so I'm curious to see how your M/T's hook up.

My clutch is not stock, but close. It has the stock material on the flywheel side and metallic pucks on the other. Thats the best way I can describe it. Kentucky clutch custom made it for me. A few Mustang guys I know recommend it. Its a little more "grabby" than the stock clutch. I have the stock flywheel and new stock pressure plate.
