lol 2500-3500, i wish the stock converter would go that high.

I launch around 1500, this always nets me a 1.9-2.0 on the stock pirellis.

like this[8D]seriously drop your air pressure to 23-25 psi build it up to 2000 on the converter and floor it. turn off the TC and OD and let it eat!

I flash my converter, meaning I drop it from idle. This causes mine to jump to around 2200rpm and then allmost instantly go into lock-up. I have a one time best 60ft. of 1.87 all the rest are in the low 1.9's I have traction issues with the stock tires. I have gone as low as 18psi and was still breaking at the line my last time out.
