what are you guys launching your cars at with the ATI 8" converters? right now im at 1500. this past outing i had an unusually low 60' but i didnt have my glasses on and didnt see the rpm really clearly so im thinking there may be a better rpm. Dave

I get my best 60' with a 3000 rpm launch. Every car is different though and experimenting is the key.

More starting line RPM should make for quicker 60ft's, as long it still hooks.

Launched the prostreet nova @ 3500 RPM's on the 2 step with a trans brake.
