I drop a 150 shot off the launch. I put the RPM at 5K and dump the clutch. Don't side step it, just rapidly let off. It is def. violent!!! I went through 2 10 bolts, and 2 clutches before buying a 9". I guess that's the price you pay for going wheels up with stock components

True. But with the juice, I find it near impossible to bog. I would say air the tires up a little to get some spin just to be safe. When you know that bogging down isn't an issue, you can go for the almighty dead hook

If your wanting to come out of the spraying I suggest a 12 or 9 inch rear end, spec clutch and spohn Torque Arm!

when you get the 12 bolt installed you should be fine. Come out of the whole with a 6000 rpm drop and see what it does!!!

I know this is a little more into technique, but 5000 is what you want your launch RPM. 6K is too high, you're already past peak torque, and that's what pins you back in your seat.

In the previous configuration, window switch set at 3600 rpm, WOT switch. Hold about 5500 rpms on the second to last yellow and as soon as that last yellow starts to go out, squeeze it to the floor and let the clutch out quick but smooth. The spray would hit just as the clutch came out and the pedal went WOT. That was with a 250 shot on a 396 with a 12 bolt and 27x11.5 QTP's. 1.50 60' and low 10's.

However, I did manage to break a few parts including a stock output shaft and 2 twisted trans yokes. Once I went with a 30 spline D&D box and a billet yoke, no more problems.

Have not tried the new setup but will be very soon. I plan to use the same technique but with the GEN 7 controlling the rpm points and a progressive controller handling the spray.

Sounds like fun i'm never gonna get that far into racing my Z though I'm more of strictly street setup. Suspension and drivetrain will be huge upgrades for hitting the gun off the line. I'd be scared to do it though.lol **** i'm scared to bring 'em up and drop the clutch above 1800 rpm's. ~Cole~
