My question was the consideration of the engines peak torque and power and how your launch RPM coincides with either.
To answer your question pretty basically, your best 60' will be at as high of RPM as your tires and valve springs will hold. I normally leave at 8400 but my best 60' was at 11,000, just can't cut a light at that RPM. Ever hear a Comp Elim car leave at anything below the max RPM can hold?
