Default what RPM should I launch at?

t25, d16z6, 9 psi. i've had my turbo on for a month, and I still have not gotten it down to a good rpm to launch at, I either bog it majorly, or spin, anyone have any good suggestions?

Install a 2-step limiter, go to the track and do some tests. The rpm that gets you the lowest 60ft time is the ideal launch rpm.
The best compromise is usually a little wheelspin off the line on street tires. You want to get the engine into the power band as soon as possible.

Actually just got bored and decided to get off my lazy butt and go practice myself. for my car it seemed that 2800-3000rpms worked the best, anything over 3000 I just spun. I did about 8-10 starts in 1st and my coolant temp just shot up..oops! but now I feel a little more confident on racing

What kind of tires do you have? A 3,000rpm launch seems kind of low for lots of wheel spin. Do you slip the clutch at all? If you have good tires and still spin a lot launching at 3,000 your problem most likely your right foot
