1/4 Questions

What's a good 60 time in our cars?
Also what RPM's is the best for a descent launch? 3.5k-4k is what I'm thinking.

Most of the best times in RX-8s have come with lackluster 60' times, so it seems some wheelspin is better than really catching traction off the line (and most likely bogging) if you want the best 1/4 time in a stock RX-8.

I'll have to try a few different launches... I've got an Intake and Aftermarket Pulleys... intake may effect my time due to bogging or whatever.
