Launch from an idle and watch the tach to see at what RPM the car starts to move.

Mackey-
Are you using your stock tach to measure RPMs?? When I compare the actual RPM from the computer, to what my tach shows, the tach is a good 300-400 off. Heard the stock tachs are terrible..

You are correct Mark, all factory tachs are off by at least 200 rpm, that was done on purpose, some are more, Mackey's was off by 500. He has an aftermarket tach in his car.

John, my Vig is a rated 3000 rpm, but the 1st rpm I see on a hook pass is in the neighborhood of 3600 rpm.
Converters are without a doubt a big variable.

Re: Flash stall????? (mackeyred96)
I'm using the Super Yank 3500 and it flashes at 3000 rpm..3500 rpm....I don't watch the tach much since I use my light most of the time....The few times I've watched the tach it's close to the flash point.....I never preload the car.....always launch from idle.....within a second the light flashes and I'm into second gear. I love the way that Super Yank 3500 hits.....very hard. :flag :seeya Cappy
