2nd gear burnout bogs down motor. My car makes 430rwhp/390rwtq i have 4.11 gears and a ls7 clutch.
On street tires I can usually do a second gear burnout no problem.
I put on 275 nitto drag radials @ 18psi last week and went to the track. I rolled through the wet box and proceeded to do my burnout in second gear, I reved the engine up to about 3500 dropped the clutch and mashed the gas pedal. The tires started to spin the motor bogged down and i almost stalled out. My question is does my car not make enough power to do a burnout in second gear with drag radials or does something seem off?

My old combo was making around that and I always did 2nd gear burnouts. 275 60 drag radials but 4.30 gear. I have a line lock and usually start in 1st and shift to 2nd though.... good video on youtube( WS6store.com 5-12-12 open house camaro. )As you can see only problem is staying off the rev limiter in 2nd .

You guys run fast with a stick car? Once you knock the tires loose you can ease back on the throttle. Even a stock engine would be OK at 5500. If you don't have a line lock, don't roll THROUGH the water, start IN the water. It will move forward out of the water.

Mine is a m6 car and first time with slicks it bogged hard in 2nd. Then put my big boy pants on and rev to 5k+ and drop the clutch and get them smoking and ride it out. On the line the 2 step set at 6k. So moral of the story rev it and let her fly.

It is two rev limiters. One is your normal rev limiter. The second rev limiter is activated when the clutch pedal s down (or line lock on), or the trans brake on, or a button on the foot brake pedal depressed in a foot brake automatic car. Used for consistent launches.

You need to get a line lock. If you are trying to do a burnout by using the brakes to hold it, you are using the rear brakes as well, which doesn't help with the bogging issue. I only rev to about 3k before dropping the clutch and have no problem with bogging on et drags. About 430rwhp and 4.11 gears
