Tuning for WOT

So, the brakes holding the car is a “separate” issue. There is a subtle difference between stall rpm and flash rpm. Stall rpm is the rpm the engine will rev to if the driveline is locked and your foot is on the floor. Your car won’t allow that because the brakes won’t hold. You shouldn’t do that anyways. You can break things and it creates incredible heat, incredibly quickly. Flash rpm is the rpm the engine revs to before it starts to move with your foot on the floor. Say your flash rpm is (I’m completely making this number up) 3500 rpm. That number might be higher if you don’t load the converter as you launch. Say just off idle. You can slightly increase the flash rpm by giving the engine a running start at the “normal” flash rpm. If you load it to say 3400 rpm, the engine doesn’t have the extra momentum approaching the 3500 rpm. These are not big differences, but if I launch off idle I will knock the tire off. Launch at 2700-2900 rpm and it will hook and go.
