Light the pre-stage, bring it up to 20 pounds and then bump it in until staged. Good for 1.6 60 foots on the launch.

I run consistent 1.6 to 1.72 60 foots. I can run 1.75s all day with just a 15 pound launch.

Here is an old timeslip from when I was running Mach 3s and a dragcomp with a little 62/12 charger. The truck made 471hp and 998 lbs with that combo at Mustang Muscle south of St. Louis.

your smokin out the lights and i dont mean to call you a liar but there is noway. Half if not all of the pro street trucks are struggling to get 60' times like that. In my time of racing i have not seen it done in a street truck and i would like to see it done.

I can pull those times on any track in the country. The truck only runs slower than mid 1.7s when it spins or I launch at 8 pounds for bracket racing. At a 20 pound launch I don't leave much smoke to trip a light with. Just the first initial puff. In the last 2 racing seasons the slowest 60 foot I have is a 1.93 and that was due to trying for a 25 pound launch and blowing the tires.
