I launch my manual ~3500, sometimes a little higher.

Auto- my best launches come from flashing the converter at idle. However, I try not to do that very often since it's very abusive to my 10 bolt that's screaming for mercy. Most of the time I rev it only to about 1700-1800 to put just a little bit of preload on the rear. This has netted me consistant 1.60-1.61 60's with my Yank ST3500 (on 27" slicks).

If track prep is really good and I get a good burnout, I'll launch from 5000.

I have an auto and usually launch at about 1800, But that is with a stock converter.

Do you do ride the clutch really really hard or do you sort of dump and launch it hard?
