6 speed pullin tips?

I plan on pullin the first chance i get when i go to California in July, and I havent pulled since I installed alot of my mods including turbo and DD clutch. I hope I do better than my first 2 pulls, they were less than impressive with 2 digit figures. I had 255/75's at 70 psi, stock clutch, and 3rd gear, 4lo pedal on the floor.
What should I change for a better pull?

I have been pulling in 4th low with no problums at all. If I had stock size tires on I would go in 5th low.
I rev the engine to about 27-3000 rpms and slowley let the clutch out to build boost. when I get to about 30-35 I will floor it and let the clutch out all the way.

How does the southbend do under that kind of loading?
Also your sig says you broke the 5600. Did you get upgrade parts to rebuild it? if so from where?

The South Bend DD is just the God of clutches. Nothing seems to hurt it
The NV5600 I cracked the Case and it spun a bearing. It was a total loss.

sweet. i bet it made a nice shop trophy. well i found this company in Cali that makes output shafts, and then theres Geno's fast coolers but that is it. Madhat told me ATS offers upgrade parts for the NV5600 but I havent seen anything about that in their brochure. Oh well, I can just hope the 3600DD is enough for now.
