ive read alot of people like to launch at about 5000 rpm and feather the clutch some so they dont spin the wheels like crazy. pesonally ive found 4500 to work for me. it takes some practice, i used to go out in the mornings on weekends and practice on empty roads. as for the tranny bolts good luck. im missing some my self, if you find some let me know. you might want to try the dealership, ive just been to lazy to look for them.
