launching a 5.0
Can someone please tell me what rpm I should launch at? I have an MPT tune and when I launch at 2000 rpm, my speedo goes the whole way 20 mph than goes back down to about 10 then I have a huge surge amount of acceleration but I feel like I lose time. If I accelerate without technically launching I get mid 5s 0-60 but when I launch I get low 6s. Is this a tuning issue or am I launching wrong? I also have headers x pipe cai etc if that matters. Thanks for all the input.

Learn how to roll into the throttle instead of slamming it to the floor for your launch. Traction bars and good sticky tires with the proper technique will let you brake torque and pull off your best times.
