Launching on Nitto's
 
I'm planning on going to the track in a few weeks and have not ran since I've had my nitto 555rs put on. With my old stockers I would just do a short burnout to clean them off, then slip the clutch from about 2000rpm. What is the best way to get the most out of my Nittos? :drive:

I just heated my up a little and then dump the clutch at around 2000 or 3000 rpm's. I was babying the rearend thow :bang: .

When you see smoke coming out, count to 3. Best launch was from working the gas and clutch from 3k, keeping the car right on the edge of spinning, but not quite. I tried dumping from 2k like mentioned above, but because of my 4.10's :(

I smoked mine until they screamed. Then left at 4k just to try it out. Bogged hard because they hooked so good. Next time I'll leave around 5k.

Do that technique if you are in the market for a new rearend. :jest:

Sorry man, done it many times from even six K on et streets. I must have one of the tough stockers (and low power) :cry: 1.8 is my best 60'

Yeah, ive ran ET Streets on my stock 10 bolt a couple times. My best 60' was 1.75. That was before the cam install. Haven't broke it yet. ::knock on wood::
