Default More Launching Questions...

I'm curious how different guys launch with their set-ups...ie:, idle then mash it, bring the RPM's up so that you're up against the converter, bring RPM's up slightly, etc. I know that every truck and set-up is different, and different set-ups work with different methods, just curious what works for you

My best 60ft to date (1.80) I stalled up to 2800-2900 then let it eat out of the hole. Looking at that log my converter flashed to 3700
