Last night at the track I found that with my HF (ha ha ha 53wHP - 85 lbs/ft TQ) I launch just under that rev limiter. You see I do this by staging and then finding the rev limiter very quicky. Than I pull about 500 rmp off of that total drop the clutch and ride the spin till I bog down - the whole time keeping the beast floored. Of course the rev limiter doesnt always work on my car for some reason so I usually just launch around 5000rpm. This nets about a 2.6 - 2.7 60 time. Not bad for a 19.5 second car! The launch is where its at to get marvelous times like that!
