drag launch question

I guess this one may be mainly for dereks civic hehehe :

I took my sol to the track and the time kinda disappointed me. I ran a 10.7XX@65.XX I know that it is because I don't know how to drive this car to it's full potential yet. I went from a rear wheel drive truck to my sol.

I guess I am not launching at the right rpm, that race i believe it was at 2700 or so. I didn't have much wheel spin but I found my self wayyyy out of the powerband. I found myself around 3000-3500 rpm and it was very sluggish till it got up to around 4500 or so. Once in the powerband it motored like all hell. What rpm do you, or other b16 owners, launch at?

On a side note, that race I was up against a 95 or so 'lude. He took me off the line but when I was screamin up to 8200 rpm I passed him up like nothin'. My et was better by 4 tenths.



blah blah blah
she get it from 'er momma
