b: sit just under 6000, around 5800 and dump the clutch
c: sit at around 6500-7000 and dump the clutch
make sure to dump the clutch tho, not slip. slipping it from that high of an rpm is a good way to burn it out quickly.
also, the S is not the best car to launch in, so make sure you launch high enough to break the tires free to reduce some of the stress your differential will take.

Yea I just ran it once for a baseline bone stock. This car isn't meant to run in a straight line.
Plus, on Friday's they don't prep the track, so I wasn't worried too much. It was pretty icey coming out of the hole.
