Each car varies.. I take the slack out, usually around 1000rpms. Some people rev up to where the tires are about the break loose, some people flash from idle.

I flash mine from idle, with a stock stall I found it didn't really matter much because the launches were always abysmal. At least on my car lol.

I have gotten my best 60' times of 1.509 NA by footbraking to 2500 rpm and then punching it at green. I got a Yank SS4000 converter.

My best 60' was from a 6800 rpm clutch dump. I cut a 1.6x something 60' blowing the tires off.
