It just take some set timea and finding the perfect balance of launch RPM and tire pressure. Wait until you hit your first 1.5 60 ft. it feels like you are biend pulled into the back sea

I dont really see the issue at all. He has only made two passes on the slicks and he more than likely hit the tires hard and bogged. A lot of people think a car will automaticly have an amazing 60 ft if you throw on a set of slicks, rev it up, dump the clutch, and dead hook thier way to stellar ET's.
Getting the tire pressure right is essential for a good launch. There needs to be just the right amount of controlled wheel spin. If not it will bog (not enough pressure) and et will suffer. If it spins too much (too much pressure), it is self explanitory that the 60 ft and et will suffer.

Very good idea.
