Well every car will be slightly different based on weight, tires, power, and driving preference. But I have never liked launching with anything less than 6000 rpm. Its always better for the tire to spin slightly then biting and bogging. I always shoot for the high side and fan the clutch more or less depending on traction that day. Meaning, I hardly ever adjust my 2 step. I adjust my clutch foot
My 2 step has been set to 7200 forever.

Thanks man, so what is your recommendation on the lowest rpm you try to keep the rev's above on a 6400 rpm shift? If I had an rpm to try and stay above, it'd be easier to check my logs and see if I was letting the clutch out a bit more aggressively than I should be.
I dont know what the lowest is you'll see in rpms but it isn't much lower than the 6400. I try to make it so it never drops or drops minimally.

I leave the line at 6400 and the rpms drop slightly but shoot towards 7200 quickly. Thats why the 1-2 is the most difficult. Basically before the clutch is all the way out it, it goes back in I dont know what the lowest is you'll see in rpms but it isn't much lower than the 6400. I try to make it so it never drops or drops minimally.

Most wanted thanks for the advice. I raised my 2 step up from 5800 to 6k and lowered my tire psi to 20psi from 32-35 area and made 2 passes down the track with this and both 60ft times were 1.5s. Before those 2 passes I left the tire psi at the 30s and got a 1.8 60ft. Lower tire psi helps a lot. I was hoping to break into the 11s but only managed a 12.1 and a 12.2 both at 113mph. Im going back Oct 2nd with some more improvements to the car. It was 75 with about 40 percent humidity
