It is completely dependant on the track, launch at whatever hooks. At milan dragway in milan, michigan I can launch at 1500 rpm on street tires and not hook and at Stanton, Michigan I can launch at 3000 grand on street tires and hook, my friend cuts a 1.86 60ft time with his all season pos tires! But when he goes to milan, he can only cut a 2.3 or so.

255/50/15 BFG DRs. I launch in between 3500 and 4k. 4k I spin and 3500 I bog a tad. Tires are at 20 psi. Thank god I'll have slicks next year. DRs are a HUGE PITA to launch on. I still havent found the sweet spot, I've only been to the track 4 times this year and under 20 runs trying so many different things and not working. I'm more worried about why my car is trapping 100.7 with my mods, losing 2 mph with LTs isnt making me happy...

EDIT: Yeah Milan does NOT hook unless you're on slicks.
