I'm dead hooking with radials, so the clutch does all the work. It seems the longer i let the clutch slip the faster it goes, for me around 1 sec is a good compromise. I shoot for zero rpm drop but when a 500 drop is spread over a second or so, it makes little difference.

I find this very interesting. Dead hooking on radials with zero drop? And the clutch is doing the work? I would expect that the clutch is slipping or the tires are spinning. Or the chassis works extraordinarily well with radials and the engine is an absolute beast! Tell me more. What type of radials? Weight of car? and what Are your incremental Times? Thanks, Jim.
