My number 1 tip is have less mechanical sympathy. I think most people burn clutch or bog down when they don't give it enough revs or let the clutch out too slowly as they are worried about hurting something.

Dial up 5k+ and just drop the clutch adjust revs lower and clutch drop based on how much wheel spin you get

Check out Doug's post on LC in my other LC post...seems to be a bit more than rev limit, blip doesnt maintain max boost etc etc whereas LC does via retarded timing...

Lol Im sounding pro, only just learned this in my other LC thread haha

This is only applicable for people with launch control on their car

It always worked for me

With launch control it does help when you have the pedal down to the floor and flat foot all the way, only at the drags tho.

Here is a test with LC, this was smooth and no dumping
