Hold the brake, gas it up, dump the brake and floor it!

I brake torqued to about 1800rpm, and then rolled in to it. By the 100' mark I was WOT, and in no real danger of spinning the tires.

I usually brake it and rev to 3000 RPM since the car would let me go anymore then that.

Brake torque to 1800rpm like someone else said, then you want to get some MODERATE squealing.............You just have to keep trying till you find the sweet spots

But relax on doing back to back launches........Give the differential some time to cool off

if youre on street tires drop the pressure down to 25psi. brake torque anywhere from 1800-2000, roll into the throttle, whenyou start moving and know you wont spin mash the gas.
