    Need advise asap on what is the best technique to launch on my new 3000 stall. I'm going to the track this Saturday (California Speedway) and really need some help. My best before the stall is 12.766 @ 109.12 with a 1.945 60'.:muscle:

    It would depend on the strator. . .

    I had a 3600 RPM stall in my old LS1 Trans Am. I always got better results by "flashing" the converter (leaving at an idle) as opposed to stalling up to the point of the tires almost breaking loose. . .

    This may help ya . . . I always find this site very informative/interesting.

    I agree with Roz...

    I have a 3K stall and I seem to get better times when flashing under 2K rpms.

    It is really a matter of trying different scenario's and of course practice.

    Good luck.
