He he, I was just just goofing around about doing 7k drops. The clutch wouldn't last real long I'm guessing. I do 2,500-3,000rpm drops though if I want a good launch with alittle wheelspin. One time I tried a 4k rpm drop and I got a buttload of wheel-hop or axel tramp, whatever you wanna call it. So I stick to 3k or less if I wanna take rustangs or camaros for a walk. Actually I think some say the fastest way to launch is to rev fairly high...say 5k or so and let the clutch slip some. I don't do this because I feel slipping the clutch would wear it out faster than just doing a dump at less rpm's but I could be wrong. Anyone have any launch tips out there? I may go visit the local strip soon to do a pass or two Sorry if this highjacks this thread. Mods, if you want I'll delete this and start a new thread. Just let me know.
