What RPM should i launch at?
should i dump, Or Slip, & at what rpm?
also, i dont really know how to powershift(never tried, except on dirtbike), but I think I have it figured out, just clutch in, & put it in the next gear as fast as possible without letting off on the gas, then when its in gear, dump the clutch???

Ill Play around on the streets for a while before i take it to the track.

I still have the stock shifter, & stock 3.08 gears, but the tires are BFG radial T/A 235/60/15

Also, what ET could I expect on my FIRST pass down the 1/4? I just hope to get a 14 second Timeslip, is that realistic?????

Thanks
