eehhhhh....maybe 2,000 - 3,000 but anymore than that and you are prolly just gonna blow those street tires off...

I launch at like 2500 in my mach and i have some traction problems....but any less and it bogs realy bad

the 88's will be easier to blow the tires off than a new 4.6 cause of their low end power. you gotta go practice and find out for yourself.
