1st time using slicks got acouple questions.
With my setup below i will be using 7.5/23X15 MandH on stock steel wheels.
Should i be able to launch at higher rpms using stock axles?
Also should i make sure to warm up(burn out) before running my pass?

its better to spin the slicks instead of dead hooking. a dead hook could lead to broken parts.
but things break all the time when you race so be prepared to swap an axle.
do a burnout to warm the slicks AFTER you get use to the whole routine... i would do a 2nd gear burnout to start things off. when you see smoke let off the ebrake and put the clutch in and roll out.
i say start launching at 6000-7000rpm and work your way down if it just spins like crazy.
oh, and get ready for a sweet ride.
once u go slicks u never go back
