Rpm - Launch - Track ???
I have MN6 on a 99 Coupe with the following mods.......
KN CAI , LS1 Edit, Kooks, Hi Flow Cats, X Pipe, Borlas, 3.90's and short throw, Toyo T1S...... Everythign else stock, I believe
Im still new at the track and wanted to know what RPM should I practice to launch with DR's ???
With a stock Clutch and what not, I know that I have limitations. But as what RPM should I launch at and learn the clutch at such RPM ???
Thanks ~
And what Rpm should I shift at for best results..........

It applies to all 6 speeds realy. Ranger is the man and see his sig for how quick you can get it done on the short side, stock. IMO try 2,500 with street tires, and 3,500 on BFG DRs. Change RPM and tire prseeure due to track prep and prep. The best I could do with street tires and 340RWHP was a 1.83, 12.4 @ 114. The 390s or 410s will help a ton IMO. Seat time is the best MOD, enjoy and keep us posted. There are lots of realy fast guys here who will chime in and help as well (me not being one of the fast guys!
