On our turbo cars launching at about 7000rpm on a 2 step we will see about 8-10psi boost by itself. usually I will preload the clutch ( twin disk) to load the motor and it will build to about 20-22psi when launching.
We do the same with our NA cars. You should b able to preload the car at a high RPM at say 7500rpm and with it at the 2 step limiter the engine should make enough power so that the revs dont drop. it will just load the drivetrain and motor up more but the RPMs will still be the same. I think you arent loading it enough so when you let the clutch out all the way, there is still too much of an increase in HP too fast so the drive train gets shocked.
If you have real drag slicks, you should be able to preload the car enough to actually start to wrinkle the tires a lot so that everyone watching can see.
