Ya it hits hard above 3500rpm and if I go WOT below 3500 it wont spin but on a lot of surfaces when it is cooler like it was that night at about 72 degrees it will hook then spin at 5000rpm and that is more dangerous than just waiting until about 4000 and going wot for some reason. The rear end will want to come around a lot faster if hit the gas at a lower rpm and then wait for the traction break at peak torque. So I usually bring it to about 4000 then hit it hard and I can control the rear end better getting in and out of it. I have good tires to but most of the time with it making 500rwtq at 3900rpm it wont matter unless it is hot out and the tires are up to temp. I am running Pilot Super Sports at the stock size. When it was getting down to the low 60's or high 50's at night back in March and before it was impossible to even roll into the gas in 2nd without major tire spin. It would bust traction in 3rd sometimes.
I may be changing the cam out and going with more compression to take advantage of the e85 more. Right now it is only allowing me to run more timing but because of the relatively low compression of 11.4:1 it is not really helping much. Adding more timing does not really add more power plus you need compression for e85 that is why it works so well in boosted cars plus the cooler cylinder temps help.
There is another video on my channel that someone else took of me hitting it in 2nd having traction issues but it was cooler even since it was by the ocean so the air was freakin great. Where the above video was taken it is about 1500+ft
