Where is the release for the two step? Is it on the clutch pedal? If so, it looks like it is at the bottom of the pedal linkage. Move the release to the top of the pedal. The graph shows the engine spiking to about 7000 rpm before the drive shaft moves. This means all the counter weights in the clutch are engaging and making your clutch hit hard. Also the engine RPM graph should not pull down to a sharp V on the shifts. It should be more of a U shape on the gear change pull down. Take out some base.

Exactly, now I just need to get it done.

Todd---JUST before launch it appears that the car is moving forward just a touch ever so slight (rolling????)---or is the clutch dragging the car thru the lights--Its not sitting at a dead stop and then BAM launch--- look at around 1:29 on the video--is the line loc on or did Autumn take her finger off and is just sitting waiting for the tree to come down to the last light???

Line lock is not on and clutch need just a tad more air gap.
