i would suggest forced induction or gears in that order if you want to shorten the 0-60 time. Thats me though.

Wizard is right. Clutch drop required to keep engine in its powerband. The spinning tires lose less time than a bogging engine.

By the way, I found my AP2's CDV didn't stop me from getting an awesome spinning launch the other day, just when I needed it. When we say drop the clutch we mean instantly, like side-stepping the pedal, not just a fast lift.
