Just seen it on a post today and when i burn out before i stage i always rev up way to fast and i have to throw it into second gear and does really warm up the tires. its that why you burn out in 2nd gear?

 

translation anyone?

 

2nd gear cause the tires spin at a higher speed therefore allowing more smokage

So do you start the burnout with first and then shift to second gear or just drop the clutch in second gear?

 

just rev it up in 2nd and drop the clutch. Really high hp cars even do burnouts in 3rd.

wouldnt it also drop the rpm's needed to warm up the tires which would be easier on your motor?

 

You dont need to do a smoke show to get traction when staging. All you need is a light smoke from the tires and your good to go. Start your burn-out just as the smoke starts stop your burn and then stage and thats all you need, anymore than that and it starts to work againts you. Some will disagree but I've done it both ways and I find I have better traction not doing a smoke show burn out.

 

I always believed that 2nd gear burnouts were to save stress on transmission and axles. I rev 2nd gear to 7,000 rpm with e-brake and drop the clutch and rerev it one more time for more sticky and good luck. great Good Year tire, non John Force burnout.

 

does 2nd gear burnotus really save the transmission ? imma be doin it on BFG DR's if it really does. i dont wanna trailer or tow my *** home

the gearing in second gear in less torqy allowing a faster rate of spin.......which allows the tire to heat faster and yes its easier on the trans...

i netted 1.7's with dr's with this method.

 

How bout for my EP at 10psi?
2nd gear burnouts are easier on the tranny?
I always thought that trying a 2nd gear burnout will put me at more risk for something going wrong.......anyone??

Thnx,

yea that might work for a high Hp turbo car,but for an 180-200hp NA car wouldn't it burn the clutch out quicker?

 

I was able to do a 2nd gear burnout in my 180whp hatch as long as I got the tires wet enough first. The way I see it, gears are gears, and a burnout in any gear is fine, as long as you have the power to get the tires to spin. If they catch, or your car bogs...your probably going to break some ish.

 

I have always done 2nd gear burnouts even on the stock motor. I pull consistent 1.7 60fts using that method.

 

"2nd is good but, 3rd is thrice as nice" Has always been my philosophy. Except when I was NA . This thread is old as hell btw.

yes that threw me for a loop as well......

last summer i usually just went through the water, pulled the e-brake as i was rolling (since my aem 2step was VIS activated at the time) poped in second, and let it rip for 5-7 seconds...

 

i do 3rd gear burn outs.

damn i got to try that

 

i have to do it in third cause of the box i have in the car......5th gear is 1:1.

 

heatint the slicks is the whole point. 2nd gear gets them hotter.
