well my car is stock other than the catback intake and rims. i would like to think i was launching fine as i tried a mixture from 3 k bog all the way to a 5k clutch slip. no matter what i tried i couldnt beat a 2.4-2.6 60 foot. just couldnt get the traction. my car has 60k miles on it and i havent peformed any of the cleaning things. could this be the problem? i shift rediculously fast...too fast, i feel bad for my car after every run. as i was racing the civic i saw em fall back every time he shifted and i gained a lil every time i shifted. i am almost possitive something is wrong with my car, once i hit fourth gear it has no pull

thanks for the comments, any ideas would be helpful...other than learn to drive of course...could my 17"s be killing me??
