Just my personal preference... sport mode on dash and set suspension to tour mode through infotainment settings.. I feel like it squats a lil better and hooks more..... other then that, I rev at 3500-4000 depending on conditions (rough, smooth, hot, cold surface) smoothly but semi quickly letting off clutch while at same time trying to manage slip but get to wot as quick as possible

Stock tires - suspension locked to tour. Track setting because you want the slower throttle map to help pedal the car out.
If it’s a slipnslide u have to slip the clutch from 1800 rpm and lay into it like there’s an egg under the gas pedal. Then soft clutch into second, otherwise you’ll tach it on the shift too. Power shift third and fourth is usually ok. On a sticky - track mode everything, hit the tire hard...get a tire

So would I lower rear tire pressure?

Here's my approach on my '17 SS manual (100% stock except for Hurst shifter, original 13k mile tires):
Using this procedure, my best 60' has been around ~1.9s and best 1/4 mile time is 12.28s at 115.5mph. Here's a video of that pass (my mic was messed up for some reason!):

I'm curious if anyone uses the Launch Control feature at the strip.
My tuner got rid of it on my car because it messes with the timing

Yes, they do. Put it in Sport or Track mode. Click the traction control button twice to put the system in "competitive mode." Then, any time your stopped, in first gear with the clutch in, you can put the accelerator pedal to 100% and engine speed will go to ~4500 RPM, let the clutch out and the system will try to manage wheel spin. Like mentioned above, it hasn't worked well at the track. It either bogs or spins too much and kills the run. I never use it anymore since my method described in the post above is consistently better. Try it out for yourself though - maybe you'll have better luck with it than I did. With that said, I've found it to be really good (in some cases) on a normal street surface.

my best time N/A was 11.9 at track. on the street i used a draggy and the factory launch control and went 12.0. It is definately not consistent though. mostly bogs
