how do you guys take off with the sled in tow with a manual? what gear are you in and what gears do you have?

 

i ease the clutch out in 2nd lo with 3:54 gears and 235's and a clutch that cant hold 3rd gear
videos of sled pulls in my youtube channel

 

anyone else please

 

Tighten the chain, press the clutch to the floor, press the go pedal through the floor & ease out on the clutch. When you feel the tires break loose, dump the clutch.

 

thanks J Lent, I know you responded on my other thread as well. I figured I would get more responces. I wanted to see if there was a trend or if there are little things that people do different. and thanks Alwaysworking as well for reponding

 

I don't think you will find many different opinions on this one, not if your trying to win.

 

2nd low?? time for a clutch. on my 2nd gen I usually come off in 5th low or 2nd high depending on the track. truck has 4.10's and 35" tires

 

when you say " depending on track" what does that mean? Tight, loose, rough, smooth? Which do you choose for faster wheel speed and which for slower?

 

depends on if the track is sticky and packed 5 th gear low dry and loose 2nd high . I choose a higher gear because the vp-44 pumps run the plungers dry around 3600 rpms. with 5th gear low ,6x.018 injectors,.093 tubes,66 charger and a monster pump 3400 rpms down the track the smoke never clears and the truck pulls very hard. just not much room for the charger to fall before it gets snuffed out. so now in process of p-pumping it.
