I've been starting out by just leaving the car in drive and power braking at the launch at approx. 2000 rpm. The diablo sport tune seems to do a good job shifting automacially. However, my brother said that I need to start out in 1st gear(not in drive) with an automatic and manuel shift at about 6000 rpm thru 2nd and 3rd. He said that I don't need to be in overdrive when I finish the 1/8th and should be in 3rd gear when I cross the finish. He stated that the 4.6 engines really like to rev and if for some reason I red-lined, the rev limiter would kick in. Does anyone know if the diablo sport tune turns off the rev limiter and would it be ok.
