Unless you're running a taller rear tire, or higher rev limit, shift into 4th. Launch in first. Go around the water box unless on slicks.
At your altitude you didn't have the power to need it, but closer to sea level a stock 3.6 would trap 105+.
I ran 13.33 @106 at 895ft shifting into 4th. Car easily has another tenth in it driving harder in better conditions. This was on a 60 degree day with high humidity following some rain, all stock, on ****ty 340TW summer tires. Even open-diff 996s launch pretty well, easily cutting 1.8x 60' times.
