Cool What will this thing run...

Weather permitting, I have chance to go to the track this weekend,any
predictions with all mods in signature. I'm thinking high 14's.

Also, any launch tips, it's 2wd. Brake stand at what rpm? pull abs fuse ?
I tried brake stands in my y2k truck and it went weird as i eased off brake pedal and rear wheels started moving, like ABS was kicking in due to front wheels not moving. Shifter in what gear, use automatic or shift manually?
First time, so any tips are worth some time.
Thanx in advance
David

this is the way that i do it.brake stall it to just before the back tires break loose then hit it when the goes green.if you spin just pedal it a bit.run it manualy and then run it in auto.

mid to low 15's with what you got I would try to launch from dead idle and then try it with a little gas about 2 - 2500 rpm I would just put it in 2nd and leave it there thats what I did and ran good times. I hope i'm wrong and you do run high 14's that would be great.

I don't know if I'd leave it in 2nd. He might be on the rev limiter before the end of the 1/4.

Allgonoshow has 3.73's. He'd be turning more rpm's at any given speed.

there is no doubt he is turning higher RPM but I think he will still have enough time before hitting the limiter
