Depends on your traction.

2K if its not too good, 3K if its sticky.

Anything above that on the factory tires will give you nothing but spin.

With your TT, its anyones guess.
Just go to the track and practice differnent rpms and try clutch dumping and slipping to see what works best for you.

slipping the clutch seems like it works best on all kinds of cars.
but at the same time, it all depends on what kind of driver you are.

I went dragging last weekend and it was terrible. When I launched over 2500 k the car stalled like if the traction control did not let the tires spin and about a second later it beganto accelerate himself, I has the pedal to the metal but a Mitsu 3000GT beat me.
What can I do to improve my launch tecnic. I push the traction control button but it appears it doesnot work, it doesnot lights
in the speedo and I keep on launching bad.
Please help ???

I believe traction control WILL bog down your Z to prevent wheelspin. The light will light up if your traction control is off, you might want to have the dealer check it out if you can't turn off traction control.

OR

Assuming your traction control is off during the launch, If you release the clutch out too fast, you will bog the car @~ 2000 RPMS.
