grab..don't listen to these guys ..no one can give to the right answer..only you trying different rpms will this be known....if it's a stock supension try 1500 and for from there with practice you' have the 60 in around 1.7's....at different tracks and tempt your rpm will change this is why I write all my info in a book..also exp with different psi in tires..I would also increase psi in the front tires when at the track

thanks vfast...with an adj.shocks/struts, airbag..ect,ect...i got alot to take into consideration..it's been in the 60's...so hopefully
it will stay that way....i was going to start with 16psi..2 clicks upfront,and keep 5 clicks in the back..air bag will be empty...
front tires will be 50psi...launch at 2500rpm,and shift where i peak at 5700...sound cool? it will all be video taped...even my mistakes........which none will see.lol!
