Default RPM Launch?

I was just curious as to what RPM'syou GST guys are launching at? When i launch from about 3500 i melt the right front tire like im in a burnout contest!!! But when i launch at like 2K i get a weak a$$ slow launch. So where should i be dropping it at? My mods are listed below.

97' Gst spyder
Dejon Intake
4.5" K&N filter
Evo 3 16g O2 housing
Apexi GT3" downpipe (no cat)
Greddy 3" catback
ACT 2100 clutch
Prourathane Motor mounts
upper + lower IC hardpipes
HKS SSQV BOV(recirculated)
MBC @15psi
MSD 8.5mm wires
B&M short throw
thats all I can think of.....mostly little stuff.

haha, thats what I was thinking..

Try not dumping the clutch so hard if you burn the tires so much at 3k..

Exactly, its a combo of the clutch and the gas. You dont want to just drop the clutch and floor the gas otherwise youll just spin the tires. Unfortunetly wheel hop is something your gonna have to deal with for the FWD. But id say around 3k with a steady gas and a steady let off on the clutch. So its kindaa trade off motion where the clutch is being let off at the same rate the gas is being applied. Obviously you dont want ot burn the clutch too much either. It just takes practice
