Exclamation Any Advice 4 Me? First Time Running At The Track With My M6 Ta With Heads And Cam !

Its my first time to run my car at the track and i have full bolt ons with a patriot heads and cam package making over 400 hp to the wheels. I also have stage three clutch spec and bmr torque arm and lcas, with line lock system . I have never raced my car at the track and just need advice on how to launch at what rpm and any tips on presurving my 10 bolt rear end. any burn out tips or shifting tips. Im running pro stars with mickey thompson et drag radials 255-50-15 in the rear . Let me know your best tips for the track thanks guys. I will be running in a few days .

Well I'd say that this will be a BEATING for your 10bolt.
The new clutch, the sticky DRs, and the gops of new horsepower might be enough to break it, if we're talking about a high mileage 10bolt.

I would start with 3000 rpms and be generously smooth with the clutch, and let the tires do their job. You may be nervous on the line but just run through it in your mind when youre staging, and launch when the LAST yellow light turns ON!

12 bolt is your friend. over 400 to the wheels through your 10 bolt is enough, now throw stickies in the mix and you may as well stay home.

Yeah if you are on the 10 bolt still don't dump the clutch off the line, you'd be pretty likely to grenade the 10 bolt

either launch off idle and get into wot quickly, or slip the clutch from 2500 or so if youre trying to save your rear

a 3000rpm or higher clutch dump will have a good chance of grenading it with that power + sticky tires, if it holds, it'll be making strange noises at the least after that...

If you want the 10 bolt to survive, put the abuse to the clutch and slip it. Don't recommend hot lapping it after that either.
