Few Questions Im new to an LS1 im used to my big block and sbc both on old school automatics 
i have a 2001 ws6 m6, mods i know of is as follows:
Flowmaster 3" single in dual out exhaust, lowered, k&n air filter, lid doesnt look stock but im not sure, 3 guage pillar all autometer(nothing perofrmance wise), bbk throttle body, bigger injectors, and a z06 clutch. there might be more but im new to the ls1 and cant tell ;(
whats a good rpm to launch at?
i tried 1500 but when i got on it i just fried the tires, and i tried 3400 and killed the tires as well all the way to mid 2nd.
rpm range?
the autometer gauge w/ shift light that came in the car lights up at 6230(i pressed the button to find out) is this is a good shift point or should i be scared of what the last owner did to this car?
what kind of HP/tq should i be lookin at right now?
the dealer tried telling me 465 hp 480 tq/ft and i dont beleive this by a long shot. he claims the ws6 bone stock cause of ram air is 395 hp, any thoughts from anyone?
