Goin to the track for the first time with this car in may and I'm not sure how to launch this car


2.3 L Whipple 3.0 pulley
Nx wet 100 shot
10 in air intake
Accufab throttle body
Bassani o/r x pype
Bassani as cat back
Ba3000 maf
60lb injectors
Fore return fuel system w/ walbro gas342
Black gord ford heat exchanger
Spec clutch stage 3
Fidanza flywheel
26 spline input shaft
H&R race springs
Steeda subframe connectors
Poly IRS bushings
Poly front and rear sway bar bushings
Hawk sps pads
Ss brake lines
TF ice tank and expansion tank

Above is the build list Dyno sheet says put down 600 rwhp at 17lbs. I got 315/35r17 M/T ET street radials on right now and was curious around what rpm to launch at? Tire pressure setting? Any other hints? Thanks for any suggestions ahead of time!

Start at 18-20psi... That much power n a stick I would say slip clutch around 2500-3000k it takes practice n concentration with a stick car, to get it all perfect

Yeah my last ride was a Roush edition 5speed had run the track a couple times with that, but this cobra has way more to offer that it did and I'm didn't even know where to begin with it other than just start out at idle.. Thanks for the advise!
