How to launch a manual on the street?

Pinion snubber, SS springs, softer compound tires like M/T sportsman or E/T streets will get you to hook nicely.
If you are running a 4 spd, you will definitely want to tie the drivers side of the engine down with a torque strap like Mancini's carries because the 4 spd puts alot of strain on the motor mounts if not.

I am running all of this with 3.23 gears and it hooks like mad although I am mini tubbed and have 12 in tire tread width.

I do have some trouble with my clutch handling the horsepower and i get some slippage when I really romp on it hard, but I usually have zero issues out of the hole although I am not drag racing the car.

It handles pretty good for skinnies in front, no sway bars, but I have large diameter torsion bars which really helps immensely.
