depends on your tires, stickier tires is better so it varies. Usually i gun it when i get traction, i guess if you feel like your burning out too much let off a little bit until you grip n' go. THIS is for track right?! street racing is dangerous!

you need to learn how to feather to clutch and gas at the same time. dont know what mods you have but try reving it to about 4000, slowly let go of teh clutch until you start to inch forward, then barely press the clutch back in until you stop moving and you're just before the friction point. when you get green quickly let go of the clutch halfway while you're still holding the revs at 4000, then let off the gas a little if you're getting a lot of spinning while slowly "feathering" the clutch to minimize tire spin. read it a few times and practice it a million times and you'll figure out yourself where the best spot to launch is
