4x4 launch?
I went to the track yesturday, and i ran a 17.17 @ 79.07MPH. i was in 4x4 the hole time through the track. I was woundering if that would hurt my truck. So like when i shift from 2nd to 3rd. should i also put it into 2wd? it didnt seem like it hurt my truck but i started to think about it and i dont need it after the launch? Any advice would be great!

Nah. You didn't hurt anything. I'd say with an auto go ahead and pull it back in to 2wd but it's a lot easier to do with an auto than a 6spd. Your shifting so fast you probably don't have enough time to pull it before you have to grab the next gear.

A 3rd gear launch with the motor sitting at 3800rpm from the start. I need to work on my launch some. I don't smoke at all and I know I can let the clutch out alot faster. My 60' times suck. I'll get it down for the next race I make.

On a auto, it won't go to 2x4 till you back off the throttle, but I still shift it out after third gear because I did forget once.
