Default Dumping the clutch

alright i have semi- new tires with about 2thousand miles on them, any of you guys know around what RPMS i should dump the clutch and shift at (im thinking 7grand since thats where my torque pull peaks at or maybe i should go a big higher so i wouldnt drop as low) with headers intake and exhaust

You shouldn't dump the clutch, you should let it out semi-quick until the wheels start clawing the ground and then take it up the rest of the way. You'll have less chance of wheel hop. Although if you're starting from 7000 RPM, you'll peel out a lot.

I'd say 4,000 RPM is fine.

hmm..i heard from some people to get the best launch you sidestep(you rev up and the slide ur foot to the right so the spring on the clutch lets it up, which is quicker than letting up with ur foot).....is that wat shud be done or shud i look into "slipping the clutch"

please DO NOT drop your clutch at 7000 RPM...thats really high and really bad on your clutch... usually 3-4000 rpms are the best and you would not lose much traction... so you have to get the feel

please do not spring action dropping the clutch... sliping it in is much better
