I launch higher usually between 5.5k-6k. I have a big turbo and FMIC so i try to launch higher so I dont bog. I also like to induce wheel spin, it takes some of the stress off of the drivetrain.

Naw you're fine. Just keep bouncing off the rev limiter until you're ready to launch.

4500-5000 seems to work... but 7K is just not worth it...
