What kind of tires do you have? Assuming that it is a stock clutch, probably anywhere between 2-3000 if you like to drop the clutch. 4-5000 if you like to feather. Your best bet would be to find an empty road and practice. Just expect to replace your clutch soon if you do it a lot...

Are you serious?

If my simulators results have any bearing in reality, drop at about 3000 rpm. If you dont want to drop, slip it at about 1600 rpm, but it may not give as quick a time as dropping (although it will put less stress on your drivetrain, but more on wear on your clutch). Just use these as a guideline and experiment at the track.

hes being sarcastic..typical

honestly...you need to find where you are comfortable launching it from
wheel hop is bad in the qt

im by no means a pro at launching..but i found getting a smoother launch at around 25-3k will result in a much smoother run
if you can get that down pat...maybe move up to about 4k....i do know some people like to launch in vtec...thats more of a preference though

just find a safe open road and practice...like someone said earlier...but be careful....hard launches...might be fun in the meantime...but when you gotta shell out $$ to buy a new clutch
