ive been around tractor pulling all my life, and just recently got into watching truck pulls and i am wanting to pull my truck either tomorrow or saturday at the local truck pull.

i was looking for some tips on how to start the sled off without killing my clutch, its stock now it kinda slips sometimes under a hard mash in like fourth or fifth gear.

my truck has a custom ground 0 plate 3/4 forward,starwheel 3/4 forward,pre boost screw all the way in,cold air intake and a 4 inch turbo back exhaust and it is a five speed.

thanks for any help provided.

 

im not to sure any ways around it with a stock clutch its going to slip but there are alot of people here that do pull maybe they have something up there sleave

 

Don't slip it to much, try low range 2nd, MAYBE 3rd.

Have fun and be prepared to put in a new clutch!

You will get hooked.

 

well i bit the bullet and pulled my truck, it pulled 232 feet with almost bald tires.

there were atleast 10 or 12 in the class and i got 7th or so.

now im addicted so im going to turn my truck into a streetable pulling truck.

 

told ya it would hook ya

 

yeah ed you were right,im gonna start putting the marine injectors in my truck sometime next week, but i cant believe the clutch didnt slip, hell by the time i was about to spinout i was turning 3400 rpm.

i told a buddy of mine aslong as my clutch didnt slip i would push it as hard as she would go and i did.

 

Congrates!!!!

I bet in three years it will be a sled pulling only trailer queen and you will have emptied your savings account

BBD

 

"Hooked" <Haha Hahahaha>

 

i dont believe in trailer queens, if i cant drive it atleast 20 miles without it blowing up and or costing a crapload of money i dont want it.

 

I would love to know just how many people have actually said this in the beginning.
