One thing that I should mention is that all of the streets I drive on are concrete, which is probably much grippier than asphalt.

I personally launch at 7K and find that is the best to do on the street and have done so in both my s2k's without any problem. I went to the drag strip lastnight and tried that and spun the whole time so i downgraded the launch to 6k and hooked up a lot better, so a lot of it depends on road conditions but i personally dont think you need to be worried about the differential unless you are running some kind of boost. Just my 2 cents

my tires will not chirp, but i can get them to spin and the ass end feels like it kicks out a little bit about 50% of the time.

I chirp the tires whenever shifting fast into 2nd gear and ocassionally into third gear... i dont see why so many people have trouble chirping the tires.. i occassionaly chirp them at about 5-6k rpm.... its the speed at which you shift...
