Hey guys when I am doing my burn out to warm the tires should I be in 1st or 2nd gear? I have a M6 with stock 3.42 gears and a spec stage 3 clutch. I did them in 1st gear last year and the Nittos never hooked, so I was thinking maybe try 2nd? Just don't know if it will have the power to do it, so thats why I am here asking, probobly a stupid question!!

2nd gear...you should have the power if you go through the water...remember its not the rpms your turning its the speed your turning the tires at.

Yeppers...
I pull into the water and 1/2 shift it real low and then HAMMER it in 2nd

So I should just pull in the water put it in to 2nd gear and dump the clutch? I am going to be afraid the first time!! Will this break the 10bolt? I have no trailer next weekend, so that sucks.

go through the water and make sure you skip the tires int he water to make sure you have coverage

put it in 2ed bring to 4000 and dump it and stand on the brake
you sould see smoke instantly

Do it in 2nd, also invest in a line lock and save your clutch. It will make burn outs so much easier for ya, a wise 150 dollar investment

Thanks for the info guys, Hopefully I will come home with a 12 sec timeslip

Yea defintally get a line lock. I've never done a 2nd. gear burnout without.

ONGRNGO

I am getting Line lock soon, but will not have it for the weekend. So I figure I will give 2nd gear a try with out the line lock and see what happens! I just hope the 10 Bolt won't go ...
