i just want to get a baseline before i add mods (GTM groupbuy!!!). any suggestions as to launch RPMs? i guess half the fun is figuring it all out.

should be a fun time in Commerce. this is really more about seeing what my brother's CTS-V will do. i just dont wanna be left outta the fun...

So what happened?

From what I've seen on here the best is 3000-3500rpm feather. I'm been able to do it with little wheel spin on the street. But track I didn't work for me so for consistency I do 2k clutch drop.
