Depends on everything. Condition of the road/track...rims/tires all that crap. I honestly don't know what i've launched at before, I just kinda listen to the engine (yeah sounds corny) but for me it works.

Its true it depends on everything. What tranny you have, what motor, what tires, the ground that you're on, how heavy your car is, etc..

get some track time and practice......does your local track offer a test n tune night? that IMO would be your best bet as every car differs from not only the mods and drivetrain but also the driver. get some practice in and find your sweet spot :D

its best to launch high and feather the gas and clutch.
