Pulling Question

I'm getting ready to pull and was wondering If I can get away with pulling in
4th gear/low with my mods. My new turbo will be on for this. I pulled in third gear last time and it was pretty good (248ft) just lookin for similar expeirences with similar mods

even with 35's an 3.73's? because I haven't pulled with these tires. I just want to make sure I'll be able to sustain power and not completly kill my clutch building boost. I guess I'm just not familiar with how the new turbo is going to spool we will see

4th low with be fine. You should have plenty of power for that gear.
Dont build boost. Just keep your rpm's maxed while letting the clutch out.

Dont watch the boost gauge, that will kill your clutch in fast forward.
