Going to the track this weekend June 27, 2006, 11:21:26 PM I'm going to go to the local track this Friday (MoKan Dragway), so I'm wondering if anyone has any pointers on how to get the best out of my 5.0 SO/T-5 combo.My friend with a '92 Dodge Dakota is probably going to be there too, so we're going to have a little race, he's got about 100hp and 1000 pounds over me, so it should be pretty even.I don't want to spin that tire until it blows, so do I rev it up to 3-4-5k and then dump the clutch, or gradually let off of it ? I was told that there is a sticky substance called VHT on the track, which should improve grab - I will be using street tires so I don't know how much that will help.I'm looking forward to seeing what she'll do, any ideas on an approximate ET ? I was told a number of figures, from 14 to 18, hopefully it will be just quick enough to give that truck an ass-whopping. Quote Selected
Going to the track this weekend Reply #1 – June 29, 2006, 03:19:28 AM I would guess maybe 16's with the t-5 and a S.O.You should gain about 12% at the tires(prolly less) theoretically. Other then that, try not to spin the tires at launch. Practice taking off alittle bit and get as close as you can without spinning the tires. Also, with how much low end the s.o has, it will be kinda hard. Quote Selected
