Default what rpm to launch............

what rpms do you all launch at with b16 motors? Ive heard people say 4- to 5k because lack of trq. Im cutting sh!!tty 60fts, to me this motor seems very touchy,or maybe I need to launch higher.

If it's stock, then 4K would be about right, VTEC engages somewhere around there. If you're Forced Induction, it depends on when the turbo/supercharger spools..

i say shoot a little higher than 4. Maybe around 4,2-4,5. What tires are you using? A good set of tires always helps chop up 60 foots!
