Launching Techniques?

[Dockboy]

Hey Guy's,

I'm going to be hitting the track in the next week or so and wanted to find out what you think is the best launching technique

After a little playing around, I was thinking something like this:

4wd(of coarse)
2nd gear(BTS Auto) then shifting to D. My tc locks at 27 mph.
~15 lbs. boost(I make 38 max.)
Last yellow light, then mash it

What do you think?

What do you think?

sounds like a good start to me, what kind of mods do you have?

with 38 lbs of boost, you've got some goodies don't ya?

I think you'll get the best results by launching at around 15-18psi. You can probably let your foot off the brake and mash it while the last yellow light is on with little to no chance of red lighting. Heck, I even know guys who will start to go on the 2nd yellow. (It takes these big trucks a little bit to get everything in motion)

Sorry for the off topic post., but HEY DOCKBOY I just got off of the phone with Nate and it appears that he may be banned from TDS. he can kinda log on and see that he has PM's just cant get to them! Allright back to the topic

 

[Dockboy]

Thanks Ken

That's just about what I thought By the way, I will be giving you a call shortly about some stuff

Chris,

Has Nate been a bad boy!! He called me the other night about some wiring. Maybe the TDS doesn't like people in Seatle! !!!

Cool, Cecil Co. is a great track! I used to take one of my Mustangs up there for some Test & Tunes. I wish my truck were together, Id bring it up and make some passes too. Good luck with it!
