Thanx for posting up!

Basically, its the same technique you would use on a RWD automatic. My best launch is holding the brake and holding rpms steady at 1300 - 1500 rpms and then on the last yellow release the brake and moderately roll the throttle on and then pedal to the metal (WOT) all within a split second. It takes practice to control the wheelspin and weight transfer. Plus the torque steer with the mods is minimal. I let the DHP PCM handle the shifting.
The GTP performs well considering its all bolt on mods. I'm at a dead end on better performance unless I go to an intercooler, roller rockers, cam, smaller SC pulley and race tranny. The stock 4T65E-HD tranny is not made to handle 12 sec. ETs.
Thanks for inquiring.
