i think what joe meant to say, but didn't know how to say it is: you should not launch at over 2k rpm because it's hurts the car, even if you want to go faster just don't do it for that extra tenth of a second. I know if i had a mtx and went to local track (1/8 mile) i could decide to launch at high rpm or low rpm, though yes I may go slower launching at <2k rpm atleast my tranny would not be in pieces at the line.
