For RPM on the stop the consensus from most are approx. 4100rpm...seems to be where most of us are. I would go on the stop somewhere around .1 to .3 seconds....with slower cars .2 to .3 works great. Dragsters/roadsters like .1 From there like Chris said you need to make a full run to see what your car actually does to know how much to slow it down. My guess is that you are going to run about 9.75 so you need to kill about 1.15 seconds. You'll just have to throw some time at it and see how it responds....you will probably be around 2 to 1 on ratio. So I'm guessing that you will put about 2 seconds in the stop.

While it is trial and error, it usually comes around pretty quickly...you will get a ratio within a few runs.
