As high as the track prep will allow. My rev-limiter is set to 7200, if the car is hooking, I am leaving at 7200.

Same here: Normally 5800-6400 but not more because if the track is real good (rare at tracks in Mi) the back bumper is draggin and you dont get faster doing wheel stands.

Your car is squatting real bad!
Fix that and you will be able to hook.

If you don’t have LCA relocation brackets, get a set and install the LCA in the lower hole.
Your LCA should be running slightly up hill as they go forward

Spinning to 7k without an upgraded valvetrain would not be very smart

Maybe you consider that a "bolt-on". After all, 99% of mods bolt on in one way or another!
