We cant recommend anything to you unless you let us know how you are launching to begin with. Are you picking and RPM and slipping the clutch. Are you dumping the clutch? What PSI is in your tires? All that good stuff.
And like Nexx said basically, forget about your RT unless you are bracket racing which you are not.

Try reducing your rear tires to around 26psi...
Remove your tire, jack, and all excess crap in the car....
Then go give it another try.
Practice is the best thing, ohh darn...

last night i experimented with a 2000,2500, and 3000 rpm launch. my best 60 was with the 2500. as much as i would love to say i am slipping it, i may have dumped it out of excitement lol but what PSI should i be at, i didnt drop my tires at all. also what kind of techniques do you guys use?

A good clutch slip from 3500-5000 does the trick for me

Keep in mind that dropping tire pressure increases rolling resistance.

There is a spot that will work best, but honestly I've never (3 different tire types, Dunlop SP2000, Toyo T1-R, and now the RE050A) gained anything by dropping below 30 psi.

I had good luck with 28-30psi.
I like to start lower and then work my way up personally.
It is all about finding the spot.
Let us know how you do next time you go out
Good luck, and don't get discouraged.

Veetec mentioned he ran stock tire pressures, I couldn't believe it, gave it a shot (do a scrub your tires tire spin in the burnout box) and I have been able to pull 1.9's consistently.
Radial tires with stiff sidewalls (aka potenzas) don't like low pressure - they grip better with 35 psi.
