------------------------"WRONG"

2: As for launching, good luck with your differential. With 3500rpm launches and reving to 5000rpms, you're sure to be either clutchless of diffless.

------------------------"MAYBE"

For an optimum launch, I rev to about 2800rpms. At the line I'll let the clutch pedal out until it's almost about to grab. Once ready(when I get the green), I start to slip the clutch and rev the motor to keep the rpms at about 2800-3100rpms. Once you've got a little momentum and you've completely let out on the clutch pedal, you'll be right at the point of your secondaries opening and your powerband begins. After that you're on your own.

3: ------------------"YOU RUN ? W/ 3.0L???"




1: Bold statement you've made there. First off, YES you are WRONG! You will NOT run a 15.0 with a 2.55 60' time. I now see that you've changed your mind on what you ran, and conveniently changed your 60' time to a 2.25. When you want to come back with your timeslip, we'll talk.

2: Maybe? You're not talking to a newbie that's never broken a part on his car! You're talking to someone that frequents the dragstrip probably 10-12 times a year, blown a motor, 2 trannies, etc.. I know what it takes to break parts!

3: I ran a 14.4 with my 3.0L. Can't wait to hear what you've got to say about that!

Again, when you want to come back with FACTS, and not made up BULLSH!T, we'll talk. Until then, STFU!
