I have heard it's better to stay away from M/T ET streets. My car has a 3.5 so the low end torque is considerable. I don't plan on launching it hard, probably as 3-3.5k clutch dump.

Why not ET streets? I've seen 8 second Supras on ET streets. But you need to try your best to get the size that's right for your goal of a trap speed. You want to be revving close to your peak HP rpm when your about to go through the traps.
