Well alot depends on your car's set up. tires ect.. I go at 3000. I have Nitto's on mine but i dont launch at Full pedal either once in second i go full. Street tires Try around 2200 to 2500 rpm

First thing for proper lunching is a super-cool lunchbox.

Then you need to stock up on the snacks & juice boxes that make your friends jealous.

Finally bust out that PBJ & go to town!

If you dump the clutch you'll either blow away your tires or bog down, so slip it intially. After you come off the line you can let it out right away and modulate the throttle or mash the gas & modulate the clutch.

You've got to feel it. I like to hold my launch RPM as long as possible w/o bogging.
