Launch Control
After my fiasco at the strip with bogging every time, I researched launch control. I now know how to engage it, but I have a question. Does it matter which competitive mode you use? My understanding is that launch control disengages traction control and keeps the active handling. Some of the competitive modes say that they disengage these things. Does the launch control setting over ride whatever the competitive mode dictates?

You also do not have to floor the car and dump the clutch.
You can actually put in any mode (I prefer 5) and come out from an idle (if you wanted) and then floor the car, and it would control wheelslip by only pulling spark and fuel.
It's pretty cool to be honest, but quickest times will be by doing a "healthy" burnout prior to pulling up to the line and having all nannies turned everything off.
Good luck!

I don't have a problem with wheel spin. In fact I need some wheel spin. My problem is the car wants to bog in ALL the competitive modes and even if I don't use them and just turn off traction control. The result was the same; BOG. My best sixty foot time was using competitive mode 3, but it wasn't consistent. I don't know what I did different when I got that 2.086 sixty foot time. The other sixty foot times were 2.3-2.4. This with drag radials. They worked great when I tried them on a deserted street in the canyon. The wheels spun for about fifteen feet and hooked. I thought the strip would be even better. Maybe I need to raise the rpm's to around 4K like the launch control does and that might work. It could be I'm not giving it enough rpm to launch those massive 345 drag radials.
