All the hints and tip you can give

I ran 18psi at my front wheel (street tyres) and launched 4K rpm. I still had a lot wheel spin and jumping. Maybe my setting of coilovers was too hard (F: 14K and R: 9K).

the quickest way to get off the line :
wheel spin + rolling and gain speed on the same time thats what you've got to achieve.
I pulled consistent 1.7 60ft with 22x8x15 m/t slicks.
8k rpm launch.

14k should be on rear , 9k front.

8k launch? i dont think i can achieve that with street tyres... im already getting massive wheel spins on 5k

If you gently slip it while giving more throttle you will get that nice 'push' feel. If that isn't enough revs then try 5k, 5.5k, 6k little bit by bit to find the right bite & see how you go. It is exactly the same as taking off with 'normal driving' ie: gentle slip & more throttle but you are just starting with higher revs instead of 1500rpm like Nana does.

But remember, don't let it slip too much otherwise you get that lurvely smell. There is a fine line between "do or die"!

thats wat i did, except i took off at 3-3.5K - got me 60ft of 2.2 no probs :)

I have a question. When you shift from 1-2 at redline, do you release the clutch as fast as you can and hit the accelerator again, thus getting wheelspin and possibly damaging the tranny/driveline, or do you release the clutch in a slower fashion so that the revs drop and then you hit the accelerator?

Edit: This is for 1/4 or 0-100, not for street driving. So no waiting for the revs to drop. But I am still wondering what is the right and accepted way.

i tend to do that when i shift.. not on a regular basis, just when i want to fang it abit..
the car tends to have a sudden pull/shock. i think its badd.. but i dont knwo what it is. can someone answer aaron's question, i too would like to find out

i like to know the answr too
when i shift 1-2 i always shift quick and hard to keep the rev in vtec

Bump for update.
