Default Good Quarter Mile Techniques

Well guys, I figure I might try and go to MIR for import vs domestic this weekend if I get a chance. Are there any pointers before I take the truck down the track? I normally drive around on 35psi so I am figuring I should drop it to 30psi. Also, I know burn outs are a no-no on stock trannies and I think break boosting is a no-no also. Any help is much appreciated.

What are your mods? A little 'dusting' of the tires is just fine.

You shouldn't have too much problem, don't do a big ol burnout, just a quick dusting and stall up just a little. Play with it, have fun!

No burnout in water (drive around waterbox). It's about consistency. Whatever u do, repeat. Work on startin line technique. Most important:PAINTSIDE UP!
