i know his is a dumb question, but what's the best way to launch from a stand still??:doofus:
is it better to hold the brake an throttle at the same time then let off the brake, or just punch the gas?

It totally depends on your setup, track conditions, etc.
ive got completely stock driveline and almost never go to he track, its got AWD so spinning the tires isnt a problem (yet) i just wana make sure im not doing this completely wrong a loosing a lot of time
You would probably do best two-footing it and revving to about 2000 rpm's. Release when you see the last yellow light come on. Given reaction time and the time it actually takes the vehicle to get moving, that should give you a pretty good start.
Every vehicle is different, so start there, and make adjustments and see how you do.
Biggest thing is have fun with it and don't take it too seriously. And don't sweat the other guy...
2k rpms? Wow. I would love to see a stock truck get up that high from a brake stall...
Since you have AWD, I would stall it as high as it will go without moving you forward at the timing lights..
i have gotten 2200 from my stock stall in my truck.....just stand on the brakes and push the gas till it pushes you then launch...best lauches come with :nx:Quote:

Experiment when ya get there - some guys get better times by not stalling as high...just depends on the vehicle.
My best launch comes from 800-1100 rpm stall but im 2wd. If I were you my next mod would be about a 3600 yank IMO !!!
2wd and a lot heavier...
He has something I dont... AWD !!!!
i would like to get a stall sometime, but i would rather actually give my truck more power than just make it feel like it has more. I know it would make a huge difference, but its just not something i want to do right now.
Beatiful truck by the way. Never been in any thing that has a 6.2... Runs pretty good I bet. I have a stall just sitting in my garage because I feel the same way as you.. Just want more hp's:smile::smile:
... You realize that the stall WILL give you more ponies to the ground? The stall makes all that power you make in the motor more transferable to the ground. It doesn't just FEEL that way.
does a higher stall show numbers on a dyno??
I dont think so.. Could be wrong
it runs great for being pretty much stock!! i haven't taken it to the track yet, but ive got pretty high hopes for it. I just cant justify spending money on a stall when i could spend it elsewhere and actually get more power, or am i completely wrong?Quote:

A performance converter doesn't increase power - it converts the torque faster.
Agreed !!
Thats kinda what i was planning on doin. ve seen that a good converter can lower 0-60 6 or 7 tenths, is this true?
A coverter is you best method of putting the power to the ground properly, that and a good strong limited slip differential with sticky tires. The strongest engine with a crap converter just won't cut the mustard. If you don't get the truck to launch where the power band for the engine begins or a little higher you're bogging on the line while the guy next to you is sailing away.
