well....launch at a lower RPM....when you drop the clutch, you should hear just a little chirping, thats when you've got your best launch...vtech should kick in at 4500 or 5k...i cant remember exactly, if sure if you use the search function you can find the answer.....its been said many times.

Mine kicks in at 2200 rpms But try feathering the clutch out of the hole too, you wont get traction just dumping the clutch.
