Great trap speed! Some back and forth as to whether spinning inflates trap speeds, but contrary to what many say I always hit my highest traps with the quickest 60ft time.
From experience (on both my supercharged E92 M3, and the F10 M5) I hate launching using the kickdown method - the car just revs and dumps the clutch. Usually without sticky tires the car will be a sitting duck lighting up the tires, but with a proper drag radial the abuse goes straight to the DCT/drivetrain. I would much prefer using LC, as it's less abusive all around than the more violent kickdown method.
Looking forward to your numbers, and hearing your feedback on the Dodson clutches.
