You need to launch at whatever rpm will break your tires away on that surface. If you don't break the tires almost completely loose then you will get drivetrain shock that will break things or fry your clutch.

In hot weather w/S02s on concrete I launch at about 7,000. On asphalt I launch at about 6,000.

With BFGs I launched about a 1,000 rpms less. That tells you how much less sticky the BFGs were.

If you all more camber then you can launch at a lower rpm because you will have slightly less straight line traction.

As others have said, the S is much better in the corners!!!!!!!!!
