Default how are you guys launching...

Just trying to get some ideas as to what to leave at. Got the 2 step in so now I wont be all over the place, and bought a line lock so I can accually heat these ET streets up. Ive been leaving about 4-4500RPMs without the 2 step and it would leave pretty good and get 1.6s...But I think it should do better. So heres the set up


Bolt on 02 SS
150 shot
Moser 9" with tunnel mount UMI TQ Arm & relo brackets
stock suspension
28x11.5 M/T ET Streets on prostars and skinnys in the front.

just looking for somewhere to start.
