i say feather a bit off the line with street tires but if your feathering it down the track thats just a waist of concentration, if you have slicks you better be droping it at the highest rpm your slicks alow with out breaking loose eithier way you better be bangin the ---- out of the tranny the rest the way down track

if you have slicks you better be launching as hard as you can... thats what slicks are for rofl

in the camaro (with street tires) i launch at idle, then go easy into second then open the bitch up through second (still get sideways when i wood it in 2nd) all the way down the track. still run about 13 flat like that... with 2.2 60 foot times...
