What rpm is everyone launching at?

At the track with a 95 Lt1 M6, with basic-bolt on (intake, catback, cut-out, nittos555r, agxs, and B&M Shifter) and a 125 shot of dry nitrous.
When do you guys spray? from second gear to the end?
all comments are welcome!

With an M6 I would launch off the rev limiter if you had enough tire/traction and then eventually you would need a rear end but until then that is what I would do and I would spray at WOT in all gears.

Hang on!!!

On my VERY HOT nitto's, I'll hold the RPM's around 5K and then feather the clutch out off the line never letting the RPM's drop below 4K. This has netted me a 1.88 60' so far and has been my best technique.

Stick shift, 4.11 12-bolt, stickey tires. 3500 - 4000 dump the clutch. 3750 was usually the sweet spot between spin and bog. Dump clutch and add gas as the nose comes down.
I and the BFG drag radials at 14lbs, nittos at 16, et streets at 15lbs.

You do have a 9" or 12 bolt don't you.
