PSM on/off - when drag racing?

I plan to hit the planned MIR rental this Friday w/my car and wanted to get opinions from the p-car owners that have drag raced there cars at the strip. Do you folks run with PSM on/off? And what launch technique do you guys think is best?

My car...bpu w/stock clutch.

Not sure about launch technique, but I would imagine with traction you get from the AWD, you would get better times without the PSM stepping in to reduce throttle.

Duane996tt has a reputation beyond repute

With AWD and some pratice feathering the throttle (rather than just side stepping the clutch and mashing the throttle) you'll get better times without the PSM.
