How to launch a manual on the street?

Guys I'm not street racing here, and I'm not stupid. I've had my license for three years now and haven't gotten a single traffic violation because I don't try to show off in places where I know there are cops (cops around here are DICKS). To tell you the truth I probably will "street" race sometime in my life but only if it's in a place FAR from pedestrians and traffic and whatnot. I will try to take it to the track as much as possible but that ain't exactly free or easy to get to.

Back on topic thanks for the info guys, all that stuff makes sense. When I do put in a 408 Magnum (~500 horse), 5-speed McLeod (if it's good when it comes out), and 3.91:1 SG 8-3/4" rear I'll have to figure out what works best for the car. That's several years in the future though so for now I'll try to work with my 904 the best I can...:sad8:
