There are quite a few techniques...this is what I do. I pull into the water box in second gear and overdrive switched off. I do the burnout in second gear only. I then place the selector into 3rd as I pull into a pre stage position. As far as the launch, try footbraking it as high as the brakes will hold (2000-2200?) and launch from there. Also try launching from an idle just matting the gas. Your car will like one better than the other, but only the timeslips will tell.

I do the burnout starting in 1st then to 2nd....did it in 2nd with the 6 speed. been launching off the transbrake around 3500 and the converter flashes to 4500.....launched at 5500-6k with the 6 speed.

btw..best 60's EVER with the auto!
