Re: Launch RPM for a 4 Speed?
Whatever you do get a scattershield if you are going to be thrashing it! The best case scenario is destroying the bellhousing and back of the block or having the clutch disc come through the firewall/windshield... and gets worse from there!

Re: Launch RPM for a 4 Speed?
<font color="blue">I used to do a half pump thru the line lock just before the pre stage, ease the clutch into pre-stage, then stage ...
at the light blink, right foot to the floor, side step the clutch (approx 8K) & hold the f**k on! Looked at the Moroso tell-tale when I was done. Not the most consistent, but definatly a lot of fun.  331cu.in. - Super T-10 long 4200lb clutch - Verti-gate - 5.57 dana - 13/31 slicks </font>
