its has to do with the tq converter, when they say 3800 stall, that means he can bring the RPMs up to 3800 to launch at without the tires spinning, so u launch in your powerband.

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

And it's not like the car doesn't move until the stall speed is reached. It's a lot like slipping the clutch until the RPM is met.

Its an auto's version of revving up then dumping the clutch

Wrong cause you don't build boost on a free rev. It's like an auto's version of a soft two step/stutter box.

from what I remember, Marko has a relatively low stall because he comes out of the hole flashing it with nitrous and continuing to use it the entire run.

i think the correct spelling is "parachute" And also this guy Marko strives on slapping rules in the face as well as straight up not giving a shit. His idea is completely stock trim, completly street driven. I remember years ago he was running low-mid 9's at every track in Chicago without a cage.
