I am very familiar with the track, ran many cars there in the past. Going back with my new Z (haven't been to the track in 2 years) and I am curious what people are launching at.
I have ready 2000-3500rpm's, with my setup what would be a good starting point? Also, what are common shift points, tire pressure, and any suggestions on shifting from 1st to 2nd to prevent wheel spin.

Shifting - lift 1->2, can hold throttle or slightly lift for the rest.
I've been launching my car ~5,000-5,500 - but toasted the flywheel after 100 passes or so. Veetec said he launched around that same area in his 04, so you might use that as a reference.
There are too many track variances to give a steadfast rule though. Some nights I launch below 3000 to get the right 1/8th time. I watch my 330' and 1/8th time more carefully than anything else as they contain the launch and most important shifts.
