launch rpm
The more "general use" a car - the harder it is to make it repeat and work. meaning the convertor you have is not a drag race convertor, so it will not be as consistent in high gear especially. I agree with everyone - you have to play around and fill in a log book to see what works. A friend with a video camera at the starting line helps too when you look at loading the suspension. I found with mine, almost the same stuff from the sound of it, that it liked to be on the brakes and brought up to 2500, then floor it. It would stick the tires and go. Any lower or higher and it would hit the tires too hard (early design Hoosier Quick Times) and spin a turn ot two.
