From what I hear, launching is pretty much something you have to do to learn. You don't want to heat up your street tires, just give them a quick spin to clean them off. You probably shouldn't mash the throttle, because your on street tires and 20's. You may want to roll into the throttle to about 1/2 throttle, then mash it! Good luck...

With the 20's you should be able to really mash it.
Try a few different launch techniques.
1. Off idle and sqeeze into the throttle getting just alittle spin.
2. 1000rpm launch and sqeeze the throttle.
and if your still hooking
3. 1500rpm launch.
The 20's will raise your final drive to 3.23 or so (for 99/00) and 3.55 or so for 01-03.
