when yall pull with a manual....do you launch in 2nd and hold on tight, do you launch in 3rd and hold on tight...or do you launch in second and after some momentum shift to third and bring her home?
 
Shifting while pulling is not good. It is hard to answer your question without knowing what you are driving. Ford, dodge, 5sp, 6sp, 4.30, 4.10, 3.73, 3,55 etc.
It also depends on the track.
In general 2nd will be too slow. There are a lot of combinations as far as 4Hi or 4Lo that could work. With a 5spd dodge we have pulled in 3rd 4lo but we should have tried 4th 4lo.
If you fill out your sig I am sure others could help more.
 
use 4th gear low range if you have a decent clutch. 3 gear low range with a stock clutch and don't slip it to long. 5th gear low range if you have a good dual disk and lots of hp, as in 550 plus.
 
I think someone needs to write a instructional booklet about sledpulling with a manual.

We could title it: "sledpulling with a manual manual" LOL
