Default How hard should I leave

Tomorrow is my first day at the track with this car. Its my first time to the track in a m6 actually. Just wanna know how hard I can launch this car. What RPM should I leave at?

95 LT1 Camaro m6
384 RWHP
Centerforce clutch
stock T56
Stock Suspension with no upgrades yet
Stock rear end except for 4:11 gears
28x10.5 MT ET Streets

I dont really wanna break the rear end because I still wanna drive the car until bad weather hits. Not really ready to put it up yet

Truthfully, as soft as possible. Big slick, 6 speed, first time driver, + thin 4.10 gears usually doesn't bode too well for the 10-bolt.

Raise your rev limiter to 7200RPM and clutch dump it at 7000RPM. Make sure you have a go pro video camera trained on the rear end pumpkin. Then please post video afterwards. Should be one hell of a launch!

Almost everyone I know who had a 6-speed a sticky tire and 411 gears has turned their 10bolts into maraca's. One guy did it on the street!

Just go out there have fun. Just so you know, as mentioned above, things break when racing.

Yeah, I know the 10 bolt is a major weak link and I have plans to replace it with a Moser 9" over the winter. Just trying to keep the 10 bolt alive for the next month and a half or so.
