He also failed to mention he has a GT35R, which would be very helpful. The big turbo is also why he mentioned having trouble keeping the turbo spooled between shifts. The only thing I know to do is to no-lift shift, and that needs to be setup with whatever tuning device he's using. I have no idea how to launch a GT35r-equipped car, though.

After the first light, REV the engine until it hits the launch control ,then keep it floored.
Right before the green light, start pulling out the clutch until the friction or grab point.
When you see the green light pull the clutch out a little more ( do not dump the clutch ),
continue pulling it out until you don't need it anymore...

When you need to shift to second, give full clutch and pull into neutral, but keep about
3/4 throttle, release the clutch and push back in and shift to second with full throttle,
then release the clutch a little slower than you would to shift out of a gear, but not to slow,
just a split second slower.

For the rest of the gears I barely let my foot off the throttle to shift, some times not at all.

This has worked great for me, but I'm sure there are many different techniques, and I would do
allot of research and practice if I planed on drag racing all the time.

Good Luck

I tried what u said. My ix doesn't rev above 5 M when clutch is depressed. When I ease off the the clutch after braking point, revs drops to 2.5 M for a very terrible launch. If I ease off too slow, the standard clutch will have to be replaced very soon.

You need practice, I guarantee you that I could launch your car no problem.
