Assuming the car hooks and has a good rear end / clutch / and tires/ proper chassis set up, best results would be with a high rev 5,000+ rpm side step of the clutch.

With a stock rear end, lower rpm learning to balance rpm you leave at and speed you release the clutch.

Any suspension or stock? In my 2000 z28 with good track prep I would just do 4000 rpm clutch dumps and would hook really nice. That was with M/T et street radials,umi torque arm and comp engineering rear shocks with everything else stock. That cut me a best of 1.53' but I never wanted to go any higher since I never replaced the clutch and never knew what was in it.

Just do a proper burnout and give it hell. If it bogs give it more rpm and if it spin give it less rpm. Inconsistency and track prep was always my problem with that car.

lower control arms, coilovers, tunnel brace mounted torque arm, subframe connectors, k-member, upper and lower arms, and the list goes on lol. the are all good. just for getting power to the ground i would say a tb mounted torque arm, subframe connectors if u have a t top car and lower control arms for starters.
