I usually stall mine between 900-1000 rpm on a stock converter. I'd pre-stage, focus and then bring the stall up and bump into the stage beams. That way you're ready when the tree comes down.
On street tires you'll want to roll into the gas to avoid tire spin. I've gotten a 2.00 60 foot time on stock 16" Good Year GSCs.
I run mine in OD, but that's another topic altogether: https://ls1tech.com/forums/removed-locked-thread-graveyard/430639-a4-guys-what-gear-do-you-drag-race.html
Good luck racing!
