OP, what kind of tires are you running?
On a stock 1320 with MT ET Street R's I'd bring it up to around 1500rpm and stomp it. If you have less tire or poor prep you may need to roll into it.
Paul...
I'm doing a TT next Thursday (the 5th), then racing Friday and Saturday as part of the MSHS series at VMP (Virginia Motorsports Park). If the track this year is like previous years, the prep will be ridiculously good.
I'm going to do my first few runs just as the car arrived, with the stock Nexens on all four corners; I'm doing this to get a "baseline" feel for what the car is like. Then I'll put my 18" M&H Racemasters on the back and my new M&H skinnies on the front. I hope to make it through the rest of this season's races with my rear drag radials; if not, I'll run the Nexens (in back only).
As I've lurked on HC forums for a while, and participated in what track talk there is over at CT and ForumZ, I've read of A8 drivers "rolling" into the gas pedal, and I believe I understand what they mean through some (cough..."spirited driving"...cough) so far on the roads.
