4000 is way too low. Should be more like 6500.

If it bogs, then it is hooking too good. You'll need to raise the RPMs a little bit...

The only thing is I don't really want to break the rear end but owell 10 bolts are cheap and easy to come by so does any body have an ideal rpm that I should launch at?

It just depends on your car setup....cam, powerband, gears, tire pressure, density altitude, etc.


You'll just have to try different rpms to launch at. It is called "Test N Tune night" for a reason
