shot a video today of a burn out. I'm just not that excited about it. It is so hard to keep the car from bouncing off the rev limiter when its spinning. The result is a half throttle burn out with varying RPM 4500-5500 with a occasional miss from the rev limiter. Once the tiers are sticky they hook fairly well but not quite what I hoped. I am sure they will hook great at the track.
I might post the video later.

TRhey are very close to stock height. The tire size you listed are 25.75 tall. I am considering buying a set of 28 x 11.5
I went 26 x 10.5 to try and avoid breaking things. The tires I have would support the stall you are wanting to launch at, I was just hoping to drop a little harder. I really think the track surface at the line will lend itself to better traction.

Breaking stuff is definately a concern, although I think the Toyota parts are more solid than most think. Last time at the track I witnessed two cars break at the line, very embarissing I imagine, not to mention expensive.
You would think the traction would be better at the track. I seem to have less traction issues on the street. When I make videos, I launch a bit differently than at the track, but still. I can't hook well at all at the track. In your case, there's only one way to find out.
Not only would I like to be able to launch at stall, I would like to be able to launch at wide open throttle. I could get to stall with less than wide open but I would have more power and boost at WOT.
