Noob here. So you're telling me that, If I sat there for a second or two after the green light, it wont affect my 1/4 time? Please explain or anybody else, I would like to know.

Thanks in advance!

5-6k. 3k will just bog the car down. Just use the 2 step. I have 400+ launches on mine.

Yes! Stock TC and trans.

Better 1/4 runs and AXing - it all adds up.
