I just turned 1,000 miles on my 3250 DD and tried a boosted launch once and it was quite a challange. I tried 2nd gear and it didnt leave that hard and felt slow. I left at 20 psi but the rpms were pretty low. Do I need to be at a higher rpm but the same boost in order to launch well? I'm thinking about getting an electric line lock. Will that diss-engauge quick enough for a good reaction time?
It would be cool if someone could post a "how to do a boosted launch" video and post it on youtube.
I had to correct the numbers, I actually ran 2.002 not 2.003. Timebomb, I want to see that third decimal, we need a tie breaker. As it stands, whoever posts the number first gets the position.

Try this on for slow.

That was in my 02 with 5600 Jammer 3 and Edge EZ. In my defense I've only drag raced my truck twice. that was on the second try. Oh and I ran a 16.1 at 88mph. the 4.10's do come in handy!
Three feet....
Nah really you just need a really good working right foot. I heel the brake and toe the acc. Takes practice, the line lock would be easier.
They come in handy off the line, but bite you in the ass on the top end. :bang. But you do have the 2nd fastest stock clutch 60 foot time...
Big Dan, mid 13's is really lofty expectations and or goal for a 475 HP stick shift. Unless you can shift a lot better than everyone else, you'll need about 575 hp to put your truck solidly into the 13's.
His expectations are definetly do able. I had an 05 with 476hp and 951tq and ran a 13.5 at 100mph. The 60ft that I posted in this thread was from that run. It is definetly possible, you just have to know how to shift.
The weight of the truck should be part of the equation.
I just have something against a truck that is 1500-2000# less then another, and insist on playing in the same class. ;-).
:umno:Were not sled pullin here, I never here the auto guys cry about wanting drag racing to have weight classes, so why do you always?
Dodge made regular cabs, go buy one:hehe:!
