ive heard of people with n/a's doing a 5k rpm slip... ive tried dumping the clutch and slipping it for launches and slipping seems to work best for me

I usually launch at 5K, but I feather the clutch. It has netted me a 1.8 60 ft time on street tires.

5k here too, I drop the clutch though and feather the throttle. 3.3k is way too low if you ask me unless you have a turbo car with a fair amount of boost which obviously isn't the case.
