Keep looking at folks best times and started wondering what rpm are they turning going through the traps. I bang the stock rev limiter (5850) as I roll through. What are you guys doing?

Thanks,

Bee, I'm surprised you are in third with rolling the engine up like that. I just stick mine in 2nd with OD off and let her go off the line. The only thing different from street is I lower the tire pressure. But I hit the limiter at the trap. But Red is light, haven't wieghed her but there's no bumper, cross member and spare with the roll pan. Does have hidden hitch but it is lighter than the OEM member.
