it depends on whether you have drag radials, a stall, etc.... what are your mods? with mods in sig, i do a nice burnout and roll out of it to get the tires sticky. after that i hold the brake and give it some gas until about 2600 rpms and hold it there. to launch, i left of the brake pedal slowly and ease into it, when i reach about 3500rpms i dig into the gas pedal and cut 1.8's at the strip. i could do better im sure, im just scared of breaking my 10 bolt lol

Rev to 5K in N, toss into D cut sweet 1.5s stock.

Honestly, you have so many varibles in here and this is in the wrong section. I mean best you can do is give a range of where you'd want to launch with certin setups.

If your on Street tires and have some mods under your belt. On the Street I'd just roll into the throttle instead of stabbing it. You'll just have to practice, each car acts a little differently.
