opinions on launch techniques...

All right I just want some opinions of which is a better alunch technique, assuming I hook or very near hook.
1st. I revb the car high to about 4500, let clutch out slowly then let it out more, and run. Thing is about this, I am in 1st gear for a very very short time, car gets going aroun 4k, and I shift about 5k.

2nd, I lauch lower maybe 3700, and car is in first gear which by far pulls the hardest, so maybe its a good idea to stay in that gear as long as possible and get all the power I can out of it.


I can figure a way to fix the bog or spin lauches but which do you think woudl be better.

I also have a little gearing 3.42s instead of stock 3.23s with my 5-speed.
