How do you launch at the track?
 

I am interested in how people launch there trucks at the track and I'm sure it depends on the bombs you have, the experience, and just personal opinion but it should be cool to see how everyone does it.

I have an 01 2500 Automatic 4x4, anyone have any tips on how I should launch it for the first time?

you power brake it till the turbo is spooled up then take off

thats it? knowone else does 4x4 launches and what not?

mine is a standard i launch in 4wd in 2nd gear

at 3500 rpm i roll the clutch out not drop it

4wd build some boost and go! You will have to try a couple different boost levels to find what works for you. My 06 leaves harder at 10psi then it does 15psi. The 89 leaves just as hard at either but the tranny temps REALLY go up trying to build the 15psi so I usually leave around 10

with a stock tranny, i would be weary of doin a boosted launch at any more than bout 5 psi in 4wd. thats what im leaving at right now till i get a new billet input shaft for the tranny. heard of to many breaking. now i have done a 20psi launch on the street, but i wouldnt recomend it for some one else doing it. jmo

Good advice Ed. I've gotten away with them in the 06 but it is only a matter of time.

how much air did you drop your tires too?
i'm probably going to try 5psi boost with 25-30 psi in the rear tires and 3 wheel drive
overdrive on or off or my auto?

Do I take it outta 4 wheel drive after I launch or just leave it?

im not sure since ive only raced in tulsa once, but i reach down and knock mine out of 4wd bout 1/8th mile
