If I were you, I would just find a little pice of road, stop, rev to say 4,000 first and let out the clutch slowly untill you feel it starting to grab, then let off quickly. If the car bogs, next time rev a little higher. Keep doing this untill you hear the tires chirp. That will probly be the best rpm to launch at.

Then just dont mis a shift and see what time you get. If you dont want them to show your time, i think you can ask them and they wont.

you will probably run around a mid 16 with basic bolt ons...

before i went turbo, i ran a [email protected] on street tires at NYIRP (with an short ram intake)

good luck man! and dont let anyone tell you that you shouldnt race cause you are "slow", go to the track, it is a blast, and thats how you learn how to drive...

i used to launch from around 3500rpms...
