i went to the strip the other day and raced at the track for the first time and my built 92 5.0 coupe run a fastest time of 16.3. im not really sure about how to run the car on the strip but i know its faster than that. should i be launching the car i have 285 street tires on the back so i know i cant launch very hard if i do. so what should i be launching at and what rpm should i be shifting at? any pointers will be helpfull

Keeping it in your lane is very important

explain what you mean by "Built". So we know what all is done to the car. A 16.3 is pretty slow for even a stock 5.0

306 with forged internals gt40 heads gt40 upper and lower lunati nitrous cam(not running spray at the moment) headers full exhaust 3.73 gears underdrive pullys upper and lower control arms subfram connetors smog pump and a/c delete. thats all i can think of off the top of my head right now. stock 19lb injectors and mass air sensor... i didnt launch at the strip and i think i was shifting way to high and over reving the motor i was shifting at 6000 to 6200. o and im runnin 93 octane and my timing is set at 14 degree
