Drag Launching

Drag Launching
I recently got an SR20DET put in (S14) and went to the track last month. I ran 16's all day and my best time was a 15.2. This is horrible! I get really bad launches when I launch at 3K. I spin in place through first gear and inch in second gear and then slowly move in third gear. When I launch at 2K, I am able to move in first gear but have to wait for boost to build up. I'm running on some cheap Futura 775 series tires (stock 16" wheels) so I know I've got some issues there but is there a secret to launching? How do you all launch?

omg thats horrible, try to find the sweet spot where they spin a little bit but not a lot, then dont slam the pedal through the floor board, ease the gas just enough to where your not spinning out but enough to accelerate well...
what was your 60ft?
i have sr20 and had junkyard 195/60/15 tires on the rear and got a 2.160ft out of them, you should be somewhere around there, maybe better cuz your tires are prolly better than what mine were..

Can't remember what my 60 foot was. I only remember that I got a .200 reaction time, 15.2 quarter mile time, and a trap speed of about 95 MPH. I'm thinking of going LSD but am unsure if that will help. Currently debating between some wider rear tires (all season) or LSD...
