Some years back I drove a buddy's stick car, I asked him what rpm he leaves at. He said "Just hold it to the floor, valve float will stop it."

Rick there are some new video's over on www.umtrnorth.com some wild in car shots there.
I have a 4500 chip on the low side of the two-step so I can leave with it on the mat I used to leave "old school" you know plant it on the floor at the last yellow and let the clutch fly
and hope it holds

2400/2600 off the foot brake and 3200/3500 off the tranny brake,anything higher will drag the bumper.

When I raced my 340 Dart 4-speed years ago I would bring the rpm's up to about 6k and then on the last yellow I would put it on the floor as I let the clutch out. And it stayed there until I went thru the traps. Ron
