My best time in my 01 with exhaust was 16.4@84 and that was launching at 4000. I was in a different state at the track and launching at 4000 was yielding 17.1-17.3. Just out of curiousity, I launched it out at 5,500 rpms and clicked off a 16.7.
It's all based on where you're at and how sticky the ground is. You don't want to lose traction and jump up to redline obviously, but you do want to have a certain amount of tire spin as to not bog.
My suggestion is to play around with it. Try high and low rpm launches. If it feels fast, it probably is.
