Message Left foot on clutch, right toes on brake, right heel on gas.

Rev the throttle to launch rpm, while depressing the brakes as hard as possible to keep from doing a burnout and slowly engage the clutch until you feel it grab. This should provide load on the engine to spool the turbos and keep your tires from doing a burnout.

I believe this is what modern launch controllers do anyway just automate it to make things easier. I do this at the drag strip myself and it seems to work (builds to 6psi, but I stage early to give myself some time). dont know how damaging it is to the powertrain/ brakes but if youre drag racing you probably are putting stress on those components anyway.
