Two Questions:
What do you launch at for daily driving. I let it go at about 2500-3000 rpms
What do you launch at for racing / best 0-60 times. Ive been lettin it go at 6000 rpms with a straight drop of the clutch. is this correct? ive heard people dropping at 8k???

When I want to maximize 0-60 or 1/4 mile times I drop at 7500-8000 RPMs. For obvious reasons I don't do this often 
. Remember that peak torque is at 7500 RPM's and you usually lose some when you drop the clutch.

BTW, I just notice there is already a duplicate thread on the same topic. So I will close this one down. Please share your comments at the other thread.
