Default n00b question regarding launching and two step setup............

Here's the deal.......I SUCK at drag racing and I know it, I just wanna practice and get better. I have a quick question regarding what rpm to launch at.

Setup:
GSR
325whp @ 11psi on a holset hy35
koni sports (on the firmest setting)
gc coilovers (450F/450R, I know a bit soft but oh well)
camp 1320 traction bars
stock axels
stock trans

Last outing at the track I did a shitty 13.1 @ 118 on street tires (Goodyear f1 gs-d3's) and had VERY poor traction.

This time I will be using some M&H dot street strips (235/60/14's).

I just want to know what you guys think I should set my rev limiter at when I launch and how much psi I should set the two step up to make from the line. I will likely do the first couple of runs with the tires @ 15psi then go down to ~12psi or so.

TIA for any suggestions.

Thanks a lot.

I know that you pretty much need to guess, but I just kinda want to be in the ballpark and then fine tune. There aren't many long deserted roads where I live for me to practice launching.
