Default lauching witha tci 3800

With my mods and using ET streets drag radials. With myTCI 3800 stall what is the best way to lauch. I have heard stall it all the way before the tires spin and some say just stall up to 2000 then when the light goes slam it down to the floor.
thanks for anyones help

i don't see a rear in your sig.

personally- i stall it to about 2200 and then slam it to the floor. that seems to launch the hardest without really feeling like it "hits" the drivetrain hard. good for high 1.6's with my setup every single time. it'll launch harder if you don't stall it up too much, like 1500 and then hit it. don't have any experience with stalling it all the way up- never tried.

Every car reacts differently. Try both stalling it up as high as you can before it breaks the tires loose, and try flashing it off of idle. That is why they have Test and Tune at the track.

I have one, but have limited experience with stalling it. I had too many problems losing all my brake vacuum and creeping off the line when trying to stall up, so I just stomp it from idle. On Mickey Thompson ET Drags, I have a ton of 1.60-1.62 60' times. On street tires, I have to rock into the gas over about 30-40' to keep traction. By the way, this was on a ~402rwhp unlocked car with a 3.73 geared 12 bolt.

Just leave it in DRIVE. Like I said, try both stalling it up until right before it breaks loose from the tires, and try launching off of idle. Every car reacts different.
