Unless you're dealing with nitrous/boost controllers, stall 'er up and take off on some radials?

3200 stall, leaving on a hundred shot, cal tracs and MT ET street drag radials, used to do the same with a 3600 stall, cut 1.6 60' this was when it was 2wd. i just stalled it up and went, never had an issue.

Are you running on slicks or regular tires?? A 3k verter, reg tires is not going to hook period.. On radials let some air out, do not do a burn out, just spin then over a few times.. Then you need to figure out how much to gas it out of the hole.. Slicks is diff, as you can stall the truck up a little bit.. It is a trial and error deal.. Put the truck in 3rd, let it shift it self..

...then definitely don't expect a launch worth a damn. It might just be me, hell I don't know. But I've never been able to get a decent 60 ft. on any street tires, even with the lowest pressure possible. Try out those slicks. Whole other animal.
