With my Reg Cab 6speed. I have been playing around trying to figure how to launch this thing for a while before I finally decided to go to the track. Well, I thought I had it figured out.
Pull up to the burnout box, turn the tires over in the water, eased up a few feet, put it second gear and one hell of a burnout ensued. Pulled up to the line, launched at 2000 rpms dumping the clutch. My head almost hit the windshield from bogging so hard. Was not expecting that. Ran 14.0. Next pass, same thing, launched a little higher at 3200. Same thing, bogged bad. Third time around I figure it's going to leave or I am going to win the burnout out competition. I brought it up to 4200. It bogged again just not as bad.
My best pass of the night was 13.6 at 104. My truck is all still completely stock. Hell, I still have the paper plate in the window. My question for you six speed guys out there, how are you launching. Maybe I am doing too much of a burnout or hell just not launcing hard enough?
Once I learn to get this black beauty off the line I know she's going to fly. All the banging of the gears went well. First to second my foot never leaves the floor, second to third just a partial lift cause I have missed it enough times speed shifting I get nervous.
Now while we are banging gears here one more question. I am sure my answer will reveal itself once I get her off the line like she is supposed to be but for the time being what are yall crossing the quarter in gear wise. My first pass I rode it out in third. Second pass crossing the line i hit the limiter in third, and third pass I shifted to 4th.
I wish we could have made a few more passes but they had to keep shutting the track down due to cars blowing up. Weather was so nice out tonight they just couldn't keep them together.
I will put up some time slips tomorrow, have some video too I may upload somewhere, for now I am going rest my weary eyes.
