Default What rpm should I launch at?

Hey, I'm new to these forums so I'm not exactly sure if I'm posting in the right section or not, but I have an 06' GT with an off road H pipe and some FRRP stingers. I know people say that it's best to go practice, but I haven't found time to do it yet. Would anyone mind suggesting an rpm to launch at? I'm guessing that it's about 310 or maybe 315 hp.

Launch at the highest rpm w/o spinning your wheels. If on street tires, probably around 2,000-3,000 rpm.

This goes in the drag racing section, moving...


with street tires some wheel spin is ok if it keeps the rpms up i got my best 60' on stock 245 goodyears by using some rpms and ridding the clutch out with some tire spin so the motor didn't bog. Your going to have to go and try and see what works best for your car. I would say ruffly 3k rpms and ride it out gently.
