You don't need to break traction off the line ..... chirping them will render marvelous results. Your 60 foot times will be great and 0-60 will be under two seconds. Match it with a good second and your 60-130 mph times will be outrageous. 
The stock 996tt gearing will require a shift anywhere between 35 and 43 mph. It is a real bummer when a real powerful 996tt has to shift and you put 3-4 car lenghts simply because you don't have to shift. The same car is going into third before you grab second. The looks are priceless. 
Ask Big Bad Ben, he installed the gears I recommended which were also the ones I currently use. Ben has alot of power but not the redline you have. Anyway, whatever you choose, have fun and be safe.

That thing builds up revs in third faster than my car in first!
Re. gearing...IMHO don't do anything to it Mark, stock gears are fantastic, just fit slightly taller tires (335s) and you are set... never go the shorter gearing route with a highly modded turbo!! A very tall (over 60+mph at 7K RPMs) first gear is a nightmare to drive on the street, ask me how I know.
Looking forward to see more

I would need to know BBB's rear tire size first.
My first gear is a 3.167-1. With a 25.4" OD tires it would be just a tad under 50 mph @ 7000 rpm's. My second is a 1.738-1 with the same OD tires it attains approx. 79 mph @ 7000 rpm's. My third gear is a 1.508-1. With the same OD tires it would attain approx. 112 mph @ 7000 rpm's.
I understand Ben used the same first and second gear ratios. I believe he used different ratios after that. My motor is designed to redline @ 9500.

Met up with Mark today for a ride, and HOLY $HIT, the car is INSANE! Funny part is, he was running it on the lowest boost setting possible (0.8 bar) and it was breaking the tires loose in 3rd gear. And the sound! WOW....it is truly crazy! Inside the car, I think the turbos and BOV are louder than the exhaust. I really have no words to describe this car....but I guess it would be a combination of fast, scary, violent, insane, and any other similar combination you can think of! Can't wait to take it out on full boost!
