ok, but then after this race, you come back after a few more months when I really know how to drive

lol, yea, I can churp into second, and sometimes into third, but i'm not as consistent as I would like to be... I might have a good race, might have a bad, we'll have to run a couple of times.
I do not know how to launch for shit... you have a stall right?

Yeah but cause I use my car for street duty its very mild but it I launch too high I do nothing spin anyway so it works fine for what I use it for

Thats what it should be under heavy throttle position but it doesn't always work that way

No stock converter will usually lock up and spin the rear at around 1200 -1300 while aftermarket will allow for higher rev but the stall speed depends on alot of variables and isn't always right on more of a estimate of when contact should be made

ok, casue in my auto i used to hold the break and rev to about 2000 before a race, and it worked fin, no spin... but that was a v6... so i'm gonna have to dupm my clutch at 1800 to be even

Best launch is somewhere around 2000 -2500 for you as long as wheel spin isn't a major issue
