Heat up your tires real good with a nice burnout and launch at 1200- 1500.
I also recommend that you work on your launches in a safe area as the first 60ft will determine the winner most likely!
Make sure you are in 3 and not overdrive!
Also hope and pray that he misses a gear!

You say 30 roll, makes it sound like a street race. Talking about street racing don't bode well on the forum. It will get this thread locked faster than a fat chick cleaning out an all you can eat buffet.

dude if you rev that car at 30 then drop it in gear not only are you going to get killed but your trans might punch you in the nuts.. but what i would do at a 30 roll is make sure your blowing the horn, and a number 2 point at what you think is a cop (wink) hit the horn again and take the hell off.. be like sorry man that's the only race you get.. then grab his gf and take off with her haha..

Take it to the track and find out whose car is faster - even if you end up losing, you'll have a lot of fun.
