I do know a couple of high mph cars that set their stops at 4000 and have about 3 seconds, these are 180+ mph cars that have tried lower without success. There are always acceptions to the rule. There are also other factors in your setup that can effect this working or not like shift time, tire and gears.
I was joking he is a friend and team mate. My combo is; .10 first timer and anywhere from 1.6 to 1.9 on the second timer, shift at .70 out. I play back ever run and my dead stall is 4100 rpm give or take 50 rpm's.
I go anywhere between 168 to 171 @ 8.90 on the stop.
