Stock converter you're often better off with stepping off the brake and then onto the gas (kinda like down on one as you are releasing the other, because the converter is so tight it will blow the tyres off if you load it up too hard, but preloading an IRS is the way to go fast so that's why I started off with a loose high stall on the V8 (4200 rpm)... Seems to work just gotta get the suspension setup right now

Ok so I don't really even need to stall/rev it up any - just modulate the right foot? (Sorry shoulda mentioned it's an auto).
