Launch rpm for F/S. 396 ,325hp ?

We have been testing off an on with a clutch set up that we can run radials. In the right conditions it can be good. The cool track and whatever led you to dead hook can be reason it works now. If you race on normal summer conditions be prepared for disappointment if you think it will work when the track gets hot or you just have too much hit to hold it. It is a very very fine line. When the radials start to spin you can go from a 1.40 60 foot to 1.70. 😁

I think that radials can be faster someday. I have gone 10.70's in E stick with them. But I don't have a big enough tuning window with them to leave them on all the time. Too easy to roast them on the line for me anyway.

Let us know how it goes and take video if you can.
