  • rpm's and launching

    ok ive looked at some of the other treads and ive been trying to find the best rpm to launch at. alot of people here says theirs is like 1800. is that right before your wheels brake loose or just give you the best launch. i can go to like 2500-2700 before my wheels break loose. to get the best launch do i rev it up that high or just find out what works best???

    edit- went out drove for awhile stalled it to 2500 w/o breaking loose the tires
