What's the best with stock tires?
Is it best to rev higher and let the clutch out slower....or rev a little lower and dump the clutch (on stock tires that is)

whichever your better at

in my experiences dumping the clutch on stock wheel/tires (17's) i get a lot of wheel hop and shitty 60 ft's and usually end up running low 14's... i wouldn't recommend dumping it at anything above 2500 because you'll just end up going sideways

In the beginning try out low. 2K and don't every drop the clutch unless you have DR's or slicks...
Feather or some people call it slipping the clutch take practice...to be good at it.
