alright this is somethin that i was wondering for some time now. what do u six speed guys that lift the wheels high how do u bring it down soft? i know autos just pull 2nd and stay in it but pullin 2nd in a 6 speed would require a second without power to the wheels. so do you peddle it down while its in first stay in it and hope it doesnt hurt on the way down?

 

i dont know many M6 guys carrying there fronts that far ....but the few iv seen are coming down right before they pull 2nd ..and most have faceplated or a proshifted trans's and they can pull them with no delay

 

alright then is there a reason not many m6 guys carry the fronts that far? or is it cuz at that point most hav switched to a th400?

 

If your quick a shift is quite a bit less than a second.

 

im switching to a th400 due to the fact im tired of going through clutches ... it depends on the clutch setup how hard they grab if they have a 2 step setup are they coming out at the same rpm every time

 

I don't know many six speed guys that pull the wheels either.

 

ya, I wish

 

way to prove them wrong!

 

so many 6 speed guys just dont lift the wheels? im just askin cuz im buildin a nitrous 383 and it should put out 650-700hp and i just feel that if i get that to hook it should carry the wheels right? and wat type of clutch?

 

heres mine on radials (500 rwhp)

twin disc for sure ...depends on your susp setup also

 

i dont understand y they dont lift lik auto cars? if ur launchin from lik 5500 rpm ur definatly hittin the tires harder?

 

It falls and you breaK something... I don't think there is a secret unless it would be to get an auto if your running that fast and worried about soft landing a wheelstand

 

yeahhh!!!

"them"

 

I ment about pulling 2nd

 

i think most of the real serious cars want to go faster, and are tired of breaking stuff so they go auto.

I think a heavy built 6 spd, with a 2 step, and good clutch could do it. but they are few and far between and most people that keep the 6 spd tend to be more of a street car, and not a drag car and are usually not on the best tire cause there a street car.

yeah, like was said. most 6 speeds don't pull the wheels that much. That being said, I know Tosto and rodney used to yank them pretty high
mine doesn't do it enough to worry

 

like i said the few that pull the wheels are coming down right before 2nd ...this is one of the best 6spd launches Ive seen getting the wheels up high...

Stick cars usually don't carry the wheels out that far because once you get off the clutch and it locks up it will drop the rpms enough to bring the front end back down. I remember a few years back when rodney was pulling the wheels high it would yank'em and then set them back down quick.

 

Mine usually only come up 3-4 inches, and stays up till I go for second... But why would you want to go crazy with a wheelstand? Usually two things happen, you break something, or it's wasted energy IMO.

Looks cool however...

 

actually i was goin to i guess its better they dont go up cuz up is wasted energy my original ? was wat do u do to bring it down soft but looks lik its not a problem
