I tried launching last week. Ha! Bounced off the rev limiter all the way till I hooked and bogged in 3rd, and that was with feathering the pedal.
I could do that but the blower is about 3 to 4 years away unless a financial windfall comes my way. I have talked with a number of people who say 4.10s with a blower is a pretty impressive combo. The blower I plan on running is a Procharger so it will not have as much low end torque as a roots style blower and the gears should help get me up in the rev a little quicker and thus in the powerband quicker.
