You really don't have to worry about heel/toe driving at the strip, that is more of a roadracing technique. I usually rev to about 2200-2400 rpm and don't dump the clutch. You want to slip the clutch as speed increases until rpm and speed are about the same. You can't just rev and dump the clutch and floor it or you will just smoke the tires.

I would turn the traction control off on the 5 spd. My clutch engages pretty low so I go almost to the floor with mind. I shift once I see about 5500 RPM

Inferno Red GT, chrome wheels, chrome AMP fuel door, chrome side spears, PT Cruiser 3rd light diffuser, silencers removed from airbox...ain't this car fun?!?!?
