Default I'm not the expert but you can either clutch dump around 4krpm or...
feather the clutch (gradual but swift engagement) around 3k-3.5k rpm. In each case, blip the throttle around that rpm to keep the turbos spooling and engage on the upswing. I've tried both and could never perfect the feather and so I stuck with the clutch dump. My 60' times were around 1.8-1.9. Obviously, this is terrible for the tranny. I busted my motor mounts after two times at the drag strip. I don't drag much anymore.

Cup-a-Chow does 6krpm drops with a stock chip. Of course he's nuts. Fast though.
