New to the TL ( in other words N00B ) Question!

So I have had my TL for about a month now, and im just wondering what the best starting RPM ( for quicker starts IE racing :p ) is. Just a noob question! And yes i have been driving manual cars for the past 3 years ( my whole career ).

If you are six speed removing the damper valve from the clutch slave cylinder will help the clutch to engage more quickly. Anything over 3k rpm will just spin the tires.

If I remember correctly, my last race I dumped the clutch at 8k each time. The harder you dump the clutch, the better it grabs.

Take it from someone who's been driving a stick for their whole career, too.

Not sure about RMP's but I like 2nd gear rolls starting at about 35-40...
