But not when launching!!!!
Why would you shift when launching?
Just from playing on the street, I'd launch at atleast 2200rpm. My car doesn't hop when launching at this (or even a bit higher rpm). Of course you don't just dump the clutch on these cars. Though I also have heavy 17"s and a bit low on torque at the moment.
