I was thinking the same thing Mark. I'm going to try a few different techniques at Heathcote so see what I get. I know the 2.20 I got was not stalled up to the max, IIRC it was only about 1500rpm and a slight bit of wheelspin off the line to get the revs up well.
I keep looking at the 92.5mph run I did and shake my head because I know thats a hell of a lot faster than a 15.0, its got to be the first 60" killing me.

we get better 60 foot time stalling at 1500 rpm...but we can stall to 2100rpm it went 2.46 in the 60 foot it walked of the line....most auto's in these cars have done a few klm's now so they start to get tired..little by little they go off..
when all you guys get a edit for the eec-v this well put a lot of stress on the auto people are going to have to be prepared to spend money make a stronger auto.

lol, when one of the edits or Chiptorque find a solution I can see a lot of dead autos turning up at the wreckers. :
Still, I shall persist, see what the car can do. I think the 1500rpm launch is the go for mine. I'll try a few different things but I think that will sort it out. I cant see a hi-Stall being of use to me now. If anything I think it will make it harder to launch from a lower rpm and still keep the wheels from just spinning like crazy.
