tips on launching on slicks ?

Any of ya 4th gen-ers have any tips on optimum launch points with some slicks ? what kinda slicks do ya run ? I have a 3.0L and there are not that many guys drag racing a Maxima on slicks on the 5th gen forum so I came here to ask I have a Fidanza flywheel with a ACT clutch, which will alter the launch points-RPMs, I know this from experience on my SE-R. The flywheel and clutch aint the only mod

I have drag radials, last time I went racing I dumped the clutch at 3k. I think with slicks, you would need to dump it at 4-5k.

6.0/26.0-15 size. I have sold them and when I get the spare money I will be buying another set, not sure what size I will go with yet.
