2nd gear launch

2nd gear launch
Hey, Right now Im sitting at about 600whp
Im tuned with Haltech to run about 400whp in gears 1-2
I find that first gear is soooo short, its crazy.
I have DSS 5.9 Axels, Stock 3.5 Diff and VLSD.
A 6 puck Ceramic clutch.
Mickey Thompson ET Street II
I do my burnouts in 2nd gear.
Can I launch in 2nd? if so, if anything would "Give" what would it be first?
I ask because I have an extra Twin Disk Clutch, an Extra 3.3 LSD Diff sitting around. So if its one of those 2 things then Id be happy with risking that.
Im asking because Im sad Im running 13.5@118mph lol. with 2.7 60"

No, but I am a VERY slow Shifter...
I blew up my Audi S4 3 years ago trying to speed shift.... lets just say that engine could rev to 20,000rpm haha went from 4th to 3rd.
Also the track I went to is the SHITTIEST track in existance. There is tonnes of bumps in the lanes, so when I went over a bump, and unweighted the wheels, they would spin out in 3-4-5

I'm using an exedy twin disk setup. Might need a triple or quad but I won't know until later this week after I get retuned.

2.7 60'?
Good golly that's awful. Most people are getting 2.0 stock.
So what's your issue? Spinning or bogging or lag?
If it's spinning, try launching at a lower rpm.
Bog, higher rpm
Lag, higher rpm
I'd think ET street would be MORE than enough. There are people running 9 second 1/4 miles at 140+ mph on those tires.
And yes, when you launch hard and get traction, something is going to break.
