Well im going to try to hit the track sunday after i get my new bf dr's mounted (315/35/17) and am in need of some launch advice...

Should i be dumping the clutch or easing out of it, what rpm? I was thinking i would heat the tires up and just dump the clutch at about 5k...am i about on track?

Easing it out is best. Radial tires don't wrinkle like a bias ply or slick, especially low profile 17" ones, so if you shock them they will just blow off, most of the time. 5k RPM is a good starting point. If you blow the tires off, simply back down to 4500-4800, if you bog, simply raise your revs towards redline Heat up the tires pretty well if the tires are brand new, and take your first pass kinda easy until you're sure the tires are fully burned in heh.
