about 2700 rpms is pretty much all you can rev to in the auto. even with the semi. you get much wheelspin off that speed to begin with.

in that case.....

We are talking sticks here. Drag racing with an auto is like getting a BJ from a dude.

naw, with the right throttle control 4000 or a tad above is
within the 'right amount' of rpm for a good launch. its not
4000rpm all the way... more like:

rev to 5000rpm > slip and enage at 4000rpm > play with
trottle 4000~3800rpm > as soon as it grabs the road completely exponentially increase throttle to wot.

but, if the surface you are launching from is bumpy, dont
do this as it will put a lot of burden on the 1st gear teeth...
in that case dont launch and let the guy go. its not worth
breaking your tranny for.
