Launch as close to your peak torque as your tires will hold. If you can launch at 3k and not spin, launch at 3k. If you can launch at 4k and not spin, launch at 4k.

The key is to launch as hard as you can with minimal wheel spin. You want to spin some, not a lot.

Shift at redline, everytime. What's more important then where your peak HP is, is staying in your power band. If you short shift, your going to drop out of your power band. Shift at redline.

-Launch as hard as you can with minimal spinning
-shift at redline.
