redman, i always use nitrous in first gear. i launch at about 3300 on street tires using about 80% throttle, wait till i hook up good, then i mash the pedal. yes, it does break the tires loose...(instant 50 hp boost!)...but when i do this, by modulating the throttle back and forth, plus with our limited slip, i'm still pulling good. when using this technique, i've managed a best of a 2.16 60' on 225/40/16 yokohamas running at about 25 psi.
i've tried to launch, hook up, then flick the nitrous switch, then shift to second....i was too slow! i banged off the rev limiter 3 times! :-(
hope this info helps.
later
