I used to dump it at 5k and let the clutch burn to 1.9 60ft on nittos. But that was in 2000 lol.

when all my **** was stock I think I was launching around 4k with 26" ET streets and pulling 1.64 60ft's but that summer I snapped a axel with just over 800 miles on the car. If you want it to last your gonna have to dump around 3k with a drag radial and bog it out of the hole. There is no real safe rpm with the stock rear. The stock clutch made many 11.5 passes with many 1.64 60ft. but really could'nt do much better than that
