If you need 2000rpm to launch and it is a "mild" cam something is wrong. No
way a mild street cam should require 2000rpm to launch unless you're going
up a very steep incline and your flywheel is significantly lightened. I
think you need to look for some other problem, like timing advance, mixture
etc.
