well I launched at 7000+ rpm on juice on my SOHC.

But I do use 20x8x14 slicks also.

1.875 60 foot
13.55 @ 100 mph on a stock block Z6 with IHE/ZEX

Depends what tires you are running and what power you are making.

who needs a LSD, sway bar tuning will do wonders.

chatter box? I thought that it was called a "stutter" box? Oh well.......I use the full throttle launch and shift on my Zdyne SECU. I usually launch at 2500.......tho. Kinda hard to control if I luach any high than that.
