You are in for a long night trying to launch a 600 with stock gearing. They are hard enough geared LOL. Play with your launch rpm's and clutch. Key to getting good times is the 60 ft. and shift points. Practice is your best bet. If you plan on doing it in the future, try gearing it. -1 in front at least.
