Launching ?
How do I launch my truck in a drag race? What rpms should I be at? Boost? Also, from looking at my signature, what time should I expect?

I dont launch at rpm, with your setup(and no billet shafts on 37's) I would boost to 10lbs then hit it when the tree drops. I would say your looking at a high 15 or low 16.

10 psi would be the highest I'd go without billet. I wouldn't start building boost until the last yellow light drops. That way your not sitting there waiting and putting a lot of strain on parts.
