The best thing you can do is see if the track you plan on useing has a test and tune day where you can get multiple back to back run's to fiqure out what works best. When drag racing a natural aspirated engine you want to shift at 300-500 rpms above your peak horspower rpm,wich is aprox 5500-5700 rpms for your engine. I would recommend during a few practice runs to dump the clutch after you see the last yellow light before the green,if you wait to see the green you will have a slower reaction time. The drag radials with proper warm up and good track conditions will hook up well enough most times that you won't have to ride or feather your clutch as long as you don't go overboard at the rpms you launch at,slight wheelspin won't hurt you one bit with the shallow gears your running as long as you don't incinerate your tires all the way through first gear.
