sknutson913 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm going to run the SS this Friday night at the track to get some baseline numbers before cams and a tune. I have Borla Exhaust dumped under the cab and a K&N Intake. Whats the best way to launch the truck. Its on 03 so it has AWD. I've never ran an Auto down the strip. should i keep it in 3 with towing on? I'm not comfortable shifting manually on the column in case of missing a gear.

diggerdan11 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 just leave it in drive and, dont shift manually. I usually rev the engine to about 3000 rpms and then go. Drive around the water box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when you start performance mods, these trucks run best with only one cam installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC03SS Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Best way to launch stock is at about 1200rpms. Go around water box, leave it in 3 when lights come down when second yellow blinks leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You launch on the second light? And no red light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknutson913 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 My RT is gonna be garbage the first couple runs I'm sure while I figure out how she comes off the line. Oh well its just for S&G's. I think the hardest part is going to be getting that down since I'm used to how my bike launches and when to slip out. I have a feeling this forum is going to cost me a lot of money and my wife will hate all of you! Reading signatures on what mods y'all are running has me all over the internet right now!!

canadianVRss Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) You launch on the second light? And no red light? I think he means smash the go peddle on the second LAST yellow. I do the same and I've never red lighted yet. Best R/T was .003. Edited May 21, 2013 by canadianVRss (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
