strokin if you have a clutch that can handle it. get your rpms up and hit the break with the same foot, start to engage the clutch and it will bog down the engine then from there you can build up boost and launch like an auto. i have cut a 1.6 60 ft before with this and if my tranny would have liked 5th it would have been a sub 12 sec pass oh well its life.

I would slip my valair ceramic in my dodge and never welded it. Not sayin you should, but i got away with it a few times. Your also not supposed to tow with that clutch, but it does everyday, just not nicely.
I was in the low 14s in the 1/4 with the dodge, but traction was killin me.

ya this one will tow, but not much at all. most it will do is pull my f150 to a buddy's house to build the engine and drop it in then to the shop to get a custom true dual exhaust ran through there. thats probably about it! LoL

That is good if you are racing a 4 wheel drive. For those who have a two wheel drive diesel, you may want to heat up the tires .

good post but i will say if you have a 03 or newer duramax with push button 4x4 and want to leave hard go to low 4x4 and ride the truck is smarter than you it will unlock and go into hi 4x4 with out you knowing it it is to save the truck. they are the only ones i know that will do this (ive seen 100+ mph in low lock)
HUH?
