The two best people to get this info from would be POWERSHIFTER, who runs an almost stock Z06 to under 12s and C5-PIG who's had a 430rwhp car pull a 1.59 60'. :eek:
See if you can entice them into giving up some of their Driving Secrets. :cheers:

On street tires you want to take off between 1300-2400 rpms. Some times taking off at 1300 will cause a slight bog but will result in a better take off. Also slight wheelspin or enought to eek the tires a bit result in a nice launch on street tires.
On drag radials the key is to heat them up using a line lock then staging and dumping the clutch at 2500-3500 RPM.
