With my "testing" I've found this car likes around 1700 for a quick clutch launch or 2000 if you can slightly slip the clutch. Once we bolt on some slicks we'll have to add another 3000rpm to those numbers!
Its the same principle as putting the brake on and bring up the rpms to about 1200 on a lightning. You don't "POP" the clutch, you side step it quickly so you don't stall the car and use the brake to hold the car in place and bring up the rpms. Doing this on an incon twin turbo mustang brought me 1.95 short times on stock tires.
