First time runing down the strip for me and the truck. the first run i went through the water box and did a 3rd gear burn out. I spun about a truck and a half off the line then hooked up. i hit the brakes before i went through the traps( i stopped at the wrong line u can see from the diff in trap speed). The second run i went around the water box and did a little burnout. I spun like half way down the track. I running into a fuel pressure problem. Check out the 1ft flame coming out the stack

i have always run better starting in 2nd.. remember ET is all made in the bottom of the track.
 
well the three pedal shuffle and starting in third is fairly hard on the clutch. Are yall launching with boost or just reving and dumping in second. I think a set of 33x15.50x16 drag slicks would help a little. Playing with the calculator using the second runs mph even tho i spun a lot. It should have been closer to 14.4 or so. But still not bad for a 6400 lb 2wd truck
