V-tec Engine have no low end torque therefore need a higher rpm launch so 
it wont bog..but with street tires its sometimes hard to control without a 
good feathering of the clutch or drag slicks.

I would try different points but I would start high and go lower until it 
begins to bog then raise the rpms and slip the clutch more..
