i would try launching the car at about the same RPM's i was always told to launch any car around where the peak torque numbers are because they give the car its greatest force of acceleration and if it worked to launch there before try it again. you should be able to shave about 3-5 tenths off of ur et with good traction..also lemme know how u like the 4.10's cuz i am thinking of having some installed in my car. i dont care too much for the 3.73's.

With 275x50x15 BFG's and drag suspension I launch at 5500rpm. Most 60's are low 1.7's with a best of 1.71. Your suspension probably won't allow this , so I'd try 3500-4000 slipping the clutch.

As many RPMs as you can without the tires going up in smoke...isn't that the whole idea? I don't think anyone will be able to tell you exactly how to launch and at exactly what RPM. This is something that is learned. But the idea is the same, max rpms without the smoke...!
