Very carefully. Don't get the tires hot enough and it'll spin forever. Get em too hot and they grab ahold and you'll get...."Hop, Hop, Hop, BANG!!! Damn, I need an new axle." Slipping the clutch a little in the first 60ft like lopey4.6 suggested would be a good ideal.

you have to slip the clutch. especially with sticky tires. Or you'll wheel hop for 60ft

DSS stage 5 half shafts, full bushing kit, 14mm IRS bolts, 26 spline input shaft, some ET streets, and then dump the clutch at 5500 RPM.

I was running 18-20 lbs of boost and I had the 315 bfg dr's, heated them up until I could see smoke, rpm's to 4000, let out clutch as I gave it more gas,(feather clutch), 1.80 60', 12.1 1/4 mile, I was still learning, just ease up on the gas if your back end starts hopping, and it won't with the bfg's !!!
