That's the right attitude to have. As far as launching i would start at your stated street launch #'s first and if you have some bogging you may want to add a little air to induce a little spin instead of steadily raising rpm. It's not worth taking out a clutch or breaking something on the shakedown runs. Don't be surprised if it takes several trips and dozens of passes before you'll know what it really likes, and if you do make changes do them one at a time so as not to confuse the results.
Main thing i'd like to add is shut down a little early on the first few runs and check your breaking and gauge your shutdown area, we don't want to lose you or that beautiful car!
Best of all, have fun, cause it's a blast:thumbrig:.
