Ive been trying to think of ways to get going a little faster in the 1/4. Ive been thinking about a 2nd gear launch. A little unsure about the whole idea though. Ive got 4:30 gears and some sticky Toyos. Im worried about wrecking my clutch, as I just replaced it, again. thoughts and ideas on this idea?

maybe I should just be talking to you. How in the world are you running 1 second faster than me, but only 1 mph faster? What are you doing for your 60 foot times?
Dave, that seems like a valid reason not to try a 2nd gear launch. I like my 1 peice

LOL, Thanks Man . Practice or they say DRIVER MOD . 1.7\1.8 60's . I had a 12.4 @102 also ondabrakes
Drag radials or slicks are a necessity. I was able to put down around 500hp in 1st gear without spinning. An auto would get you that extra second. Too bad it's not worth it for a street car!
Those 4.30s are probably hurting you pretty badly. Dump those for 3.73s or the 3.91s. Put some decent tires on your car too. A 2.3 60' is a joke man, that's what's killing you.
