I know that sounds weird to the auto trans guys but yes, you've got to spin the tires a little to get a good run. Obviously, the trick (if you want to win rounds) is to get it to spin the same amount each time.

Regarding starting time RPM, the best 60' that I ever had was a run where the two step malfunctioned. I normally leave at 8600, on that run the needle was off the end of the tach but boy, did it leave! If you want to 60', be brave and don't look at the tach. Obviously there is more to it than that but I don't think you can leave at 5000 and expect much in the way of 60' times.
