Experiment with 2500 RPM's. But generally from 2500 to 3200 is the sweet spot. The trick is to feather when you drop, feel for the hook up, then bury the throttle

My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
i disagree, 900-1200, smoothly release the clutch, wait 20 feet and then mash the gas

Red- 2000 Trans Am
900-1200 will only make you a slow racer haveing to wait like that off the line really slows you down, i usually launch at almost 3k.

Navy Blue Metallic- '02 Trans Am WS6
TCS on or off? I get a bunch of wheel spin off the line but I like to shift without letting out of it so I like the TCS off when I shift into 2nd. TCS kills too much power.
