Heres how I launch on street tires. Good 5-6 sec burnout until I see smoke. Then at the line I roll into the throttle. Ease into it at first and once Im moving slam down on the bi@tch.

Street radials only need a quick 1 or 2 second spin to clean them off.
If I'm hooking that day, I flash stall it. Meaning, I stomp on the pedal from an idle. I got my best ETs that way. If I'm not hooking, then I brake stall it. Meaning, I hold the brake, bring the RPM to about 1500-1800, then release the brake and either floor it or ease into it depending on how many ricers drug water onto the track.

for my burnout I just power brake for about 1-2 seconds and let off the brake still flooring it untill it catches! Then you know when you take off the line it'll catch! And I powerbrake it as high as the stall will let and then give it all she's got!
Agree 100% Anyone who does long smoky burn outs exceeding that, is just going to end up replacing their tires earlier.......and hurting their 60ft in the process.propellerhead said:

With ET Drags, transbrake, and 4200 stall...spin the tires once in the water box. Do a good long burnout of about 10 seconds in 2nd gear and 5000 rpm. Stage the car. Press and hold the transbrake button. Floor the throttle. Release the transbrake button. Hold on while the front tires come off the ground about 2 feet.

How large were you planning to go with your crank pulley Jim? I was going in the same direction a while back and figured out that about 8 1/2" was the max diameter without having to worry about it interfering with the water pump pulley. In the end, I decided to just convert to the 8-rib pulleys instead (which I'm sure you already have, if not a cogged system) but had I gone with a more aggressive blower and belt traction was becoming a problem, the larger pulley would have been in the cards.
If you haven't found a place to buy (or to build) your pulley yet, I've got a few friends that have had them made here and am told they're an A1 design and great company to deal with.
