Default 6spd Guys with 3.73's come in!

What gear are you doing your burnouts in? 1st or second? WHat tires are you running and what 60ft's are you cutting? I'm having problems hooking up with et streets, doing burnouts in 1st for at least 7 seconds every time. All I do is spin my *** off anything over 4k rpm. Thanks

I use to have 3.73 in my stock rear-end (and than blew it out and changed to 12-bolt).. I ran ET Streets. 2nd gear burn out using a line-lock (much easier to do and saves the clutch). Put in into 2nd, ease out the clutch, and do burn out until good and smokey (sometimes would take a little longer, sometimes shorter).

I use to launch at between 4800-5000. Got the Harlan 2-step 5000 rpm launch every time after that . For the most part (depending on track prep) would get 1.68-1.70 60'. You will need to vary your tire pressure. Start at 18lbs. Go up or down depending on track prep. Launch at a consistent RPM. I personally would recommend at least 4500rpm launches. You can change that once you get your 60' times down to where you want them

This was done when I was a lot more stock than I am now.

Good Luck

David

2nd gear burnouts here.....no problems hooking at 6000rpms (aluminum flywheel tho), and that's with ET streets or full slicks.

2nd gear burnout. I don't have alot of HP but i know other 11 second 6spds with et streets and they get pretty good grip even with 4.11's.
