with a spec stage 3 i think itll be hard to slip the clutch those are pretty aggressive. If the DR's will hold like a slick like everyone says they do so far,dump the bitch at like 4,000 and see where u go from there...Every car is different,practice makes perfect,just get as many runs as possible and try different things till it works good!
Good Luck!
