I hate to disagree but on this one point i will i have raced a 351 LX Fox Body of the line since the mid 90's I always listened for a "flat" spot when I tach up to my engines to its "holding" RPM before the tree drops i give it a test . Pause then when the lights come up I bring it back up to holding and if I am not satisfied with the sound of the engine in either taching I will not launch the car.
It was Obvious to me when he brought his car up to 1,000+ RPM the first time and Held that it hit a Flat spot happened it did the same on the second he shouldnt have launched. Live and Learn.......
