i am pretty sure that this has been covered already, just wanted to get some input on what gear everyone is using to do burnout before staging. i have others telling me 2nd gear and more telling me that with stock axles on 24.5" slicks that it would not be a good idea....lmk what yall have to offer.

 

i did 3rd gear burnouts on stock axles.never had a problem

 

as long as you are at the edge of the water, 3rd gear on stock axles are ok, dont sidestep the clutch, just let it out.

i did 2nd gear burnouts before, and doin 3rd now. 3rd gear will get your tires hotter faster.

i think there are a few. but i dont know specifically.

 

thanx for the input everyone

 

2nd and 3rd gear burnouts here with stock axles and 24.5s

 

3rd gear on stock axles, open differential gsr tranny, 24.5 slicks

all good

 

My car always bogs when i try 3rd gear.

 

Miller does...LOL!

 

I do mine in reverse.

 

Its funny you say that cause some Idiot on here I believe pulled 1 of those!....lol

 

i didnt 2nd gear burnouts for a bit. I do 3rd gear burnouts now. (hits the limmiter less)

2nd gear burnout. I'll see if i can find a 3rd gear one.

 

^^ what are you tuned on? s300?

 

3rd gear all day on stock d series axles.

once you go 3rd you never go back.

 

Are just suppose to stay in the water box, or let the car pull out when doing a 3rd gear?

 

Pull out of the water box.

SlicksMH

 

any taking tire temps after the burnout? i got some numbers and would like to compare it to others.

 

We used to take my wife's auto Integra to a local 1/8 mule track back in the day. They had a fence behind the burnout box and fwd cars had to back the bumper right up against the fence. The car had nitrous and I had to bump the nitrous on and back off to start the burnout. I left it in reverse 2-3 times and hit the fence. LOL. That was a long time ago.

 

ive seen guys do it at the line.. they cross the line since there not sure how to stage, back up and forget to take it out of reverse.

everyone has to learn some how, I never laugh, everyone makes mistakes.

 

or you have an idiot friend that likes the attention and does it on purpose twice in the same night. i think the second time they just let him go. (staging with the rear wheels hahaa)

 

you are saying start your burnout past the waterbox correct?
