Need More info.

Race Weight
Transmission
Rear End Gear Ratio
Other Mods
Suspension

More specific.

In general, leave as high of an RPM that the car will allow without inducing wheel spin or bogging. I know its basic and generic but so is the info I see here.

I agree with LsXMARO, the best way to figure out is to go to the track and test it out. I would start off low and work your way up until the tires blow off and or you 60 foot times don't get any better

Hold clutch to floor, hold gas pedal to floor, side step the clutch and hold on

Yep, I agree.

Whole lot of agreeing going on and I felt left out.

As a general place to start, take half of your redline RPMs (for LT1s it is 5700/2= ~2800 rpms, and start from there... or the same as BlackScreaminMachine

Long story of the short, that's why it is called testing and tuning. Gotta learn the car and learn what it still needs. Doing test hits before going ***** out is a good idea. No need to hook it into another car, or the wall.....
