Default Launching a 4400?

I've never ran my car on anything except drag radials and launching at 1400 it went a 1.56 on BFG's last year and went 11.34 and this year it's best pass is 11.49 with a 1.80 short time. Here's my question where should I launch it on some ET Streets? I've been timid about the rear, but I think it will hold it after attempting a 2800 launch on DR's and spinning til it hooked up in 2nd and taking off violently. Anyway I don't have any suspension stuff. I am about to do SFC's, LCA's and relocation brackets, a little weight reduction, change headers, change cam, and slicks. Before I do any of that I wanna run on slicks so where should I launch? I've been told about 3300???

As high as possible with that converter.

I have not had the chance to try launching on this new TCI 4400 yet but like B18B1LS1 said, as high as the converter (and tires) will let you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> If you have the traction, and it won`t push you through the beams, stall her up!! That`s what I do anyway. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
