depends on the track conditions, no one will really be able to tell you where to launch since conditions vary.

Lowering tire pressure on normal street tires is said to actually LESSEN the contact patch of the tire. Dont hold me to it, but its what i heard.

I launched my integra at 2.5k rpms at the track. Anything higher and i would spin all day.

i dont really feel like posting my setup due to laziness, but i was putting out a decent amount of torque. Id say start your launch at 4k rpms and adjust accordingly.

So basically, try something on your first run and adjust it to what you think is best.

Varies. 1k ~ 8.1k. Like stated before... it all depends on the conditions. I launch 3k on street (rural area) and track. Finding your own launch comes from obviously, experience. Have fun at the track and post your times.
