trial and error till you find the right spot.

i just floor it and dump the clutch with slicks on it, works like a charm

silly as it may sound, thats the best advice. we really do need to know the tires you are running and a little more about your power and suspension to give a better ballpark of ideas

It varies from car to car and driver to driver. As a few have said already, its all trial and error...
