Thanks all. Dynagroove, lengthening the swingarm would definitely allow higher rpm launches without lifting the front wheel; it would also help with high speed stability. As for now, the advice I have been given is to start off with the engine rpms at about 6k and slowly slip the clutch from a stop. If I had a longer swing arm, or wheelie bars for that matter, it would be possible to have high rpm's and then drop the clutch or let it out very quickly. If I did this now, I'd end up upside down, since the drag strip has good traction and the front is strapped with a softer preload in the rear. I'll have to see how I like everything, and if it gets to the point where I want to have stronger starts I might stretch the swingarm. The other thing to remember is that the more high-performance upgrades I do, the greater the chance of things breaking.
