With that ET,what RPM does it idle at now Marlin?

[/ QUOTE ]

The car idles around 900 - special thanks to K.Marple for that.

At SCR7 I was launching just off idle around 1200rpm, but last year at SCR8 I got my spring clamps installed - 2 per side, and continually raised my launch rpm until the final round where I think I was hitting the tires at around 2000 rpm. There was still a slight bog, without tire squeal, so that tells me that I could have raised it higher. I was a bit timid however, because my car has it's 'born-with' original drivetrain - and I do this for fun, not to get my best ET by breaking something.

Not sure who I'll banter with this year without Frankie
