might have to feel it out (tires, track) try 2500 and work your way up and see what happens.
(2500,2600,2700, and so on)

I usually ride my clutch out at 3500 and then steadily put it to the floor. You just gotta find that sweet spot.

I rev at a little under 2k and ride the clutch out slowly. This got me a best of 2.282 60' at the track. It's not the best time but I was on bald stock 15" steelies at that time.

You just have to try different ways, it's different for everybody.
