Going to the drag strip

[New recaros]

That was a great sounding truck, no even a hiccup

Foot on the Brake. Get RPMs up to about 1800 at same time then floor it. Drag straps usually have rubber down for prep. Deflate rear tires to around atleast 32 lbs. If ya spin on 1st pass witch I don't think you will then take 10 more lbs down

I would recommend running it in 4A and not airing down the tires; there is a lot more rolling resistance as air pressure is decreased. It’s also a safety issue being that these tires are only rated for slightly over 100MPH at the recommended pressure; airing down a increases heat exponentially and the chance of a blowout.

Don't know what 4A is. But if it's adding another axle that would rob power. If ya spinning your loosing, deflating rear tires will give ya more traction. It was the only way I was able to beat a Vette back when I had a Mustang. Take it for what its worth

Tell us your quarter mile times!

i would do the first run in 2WD with around 28psi in the rear tires. if it spins the tires on the launch, go to 4auto or 4high.


brake torque it up on the second light to the floor and release the brake on the last yellow light..

Is this paved or a dirt tractor pull track like the other one turned out to be?

pretty sure this is 1/4 or 1/8th mile paved discussion...

I appreciate everyone's replies. I did end up going to the strip but so did everybody else in a 4 state rads it seemed. I did not run as the wait was forever and it was 112 degrees.

Damn. Would of liked to hear how you did and what methods you used
