5k is a soft street launch need more 6+ at drags

Yeah but 4.5-5k is good for him to learn launching properly on the road... add rpm at drags
I would think stis are a bit easier to launch than fozzies too? 5-5.5k is usually plenty

I agree with Jacob. 6k and dump the clutch at the drags works the best.

Agree With Jacob and Tony ^^^^^^^^ 6000rpm and drop tyre pressures to about 25-27 psi . Alot of people forget tyre pressures can pick up alot of 60 ft time with the right tyre pressures .

If you want lessons on launching see Cat
