Default I have ...

point less to try on kkk based turbos but I also launched my black GT car a few times in 2nd gear with launch control. Clutch takes a good hit but you do skip one gear and build more MPH and lower ET.

Default It seems that i am losing so much time in first gear and then shifting into 2nd is a slow process

seems like if i was to launch in second gear and flatfoot shift it i would be able to cut down my time.

Gonna need more boost than what the WOT box offers to really get that S4 out the hole.
