Spinning off the line bad i take it? if so you could get a mid 15 out of it if you get the traction taken care of, good runs though

sadly i was not, launching on the track is way different, first time i almost stalled it, and second time i chirped them dumping the clutch at 1800 rpms, and it almost stalled again, I need to work on the launch big time.

Gotta ride that clutch son!! Lots of rpm, and kill the clutch! Sticky tires would really help you alot.

i still think it got alot left in it when you get the launch down.

i will probably have big launching problems when i go to the strip, even though i have caltracs,trutrac, and 28x11.50x15 MT et street radials, i havent been yet but my truc is useless in first and second on the street. Any throttle and it blows the tires away. Maybe the drag radials will help alot.

Go find a back road and start playing. Dumping the clutch is just going to break you loose every time. It will just take some time but like suggested you need to learn how to work that clutch just right that it leaves as hard as it can without spinning. It will be a trial and error game of what RPM and speed you let the clutch out but you will get it.

If you can get your launch down I would say 16 flat, maybe very high 15's

Id say like ^^^^ this guy said high 15 for sure 5spds are hard to shift imo unless ur a badass driver i suck at driving sticks ( no homo ) had a 2010 camaro ss for 3 days before getting my truck and it was fun to drive but when it comes to race it id redlight or stay spinning and missing gears lol i gotta give it to the guys who can make them run better than what they are rated example 2010 ss claim to run 13.0s 12.8s i was at 14.10 13.70s lil brother did 12.50s and a 12.32 lil bastard! just practice on it youll get the hang of if
