  • How to launch an auto?

    for drag racing what is the best way to launch an auto? thanks.

    if your car is stock. i suggest to stall it at 1500rpm. that will give you the best launch. but you need to play with it and find your best spot. but it gives you a starting point

      alot of people will say "hold the brake and mash the gas until the tires almost break loose"

      with my car leaving at 1500rpm flashed the convertor and i got a 2.1 60ft at 9.81 1/8 @71mph. stock car, 3.42 gears, open diff, street tires.

      but testing the the best way. greatly depends on how the track is prepd also.

      have fun

        why is this in general tech? should go in drag racing.

        But yeah do what BLLDOGG said. stall it to about 1500 or 2000 and let it rip on the 3rd yellow
