Best way to launch with Mickey et radials?

[gt-351]

Im going to try to make my queckest pass yet in my vert. Im running the new M/T et street radials. I've been running about 15lbs and a second gear burnout leaving around 3400rpm. What is the best way to do my burnout. Sometimes I feel they do just as good with a small burnout or no burnout at all.
What do you guys think.

i made a pass w/ no burnout and they spun like mad launching off idle....but that was the first time ever w/ no burnout, so they might have been glazed or whatever.

anyway....15 lbs seems low, try 20 lbs.

and launch at 3500...if it hooks try 4000

My bfg drag radials hooked up best with 12lbs and a nice, smokey 2nd gear burnout. Launching at 3k.

i do 15lbs 2nd gear burnout launch from 1400 flashing the 3000stall converter.

I did a mild burn out, left at idle and flashed the converter. Thats the way my car hooked the best. With about 15#'s of air, the best 60' I got, was a 1.62 on the 275/40/17's.

nice Myke86GT, thats a kick ass 60' time for 17" drag radials. That must have yielded a rather quick 1/4 mile pass

That is some driving! That would be a respectable 60ft on a slick with decent drag suspension!

Yea that surprised the heck out me too when I got that 60'. The car ran an 11.19 @ 120.81

But it will be a while before I get to try again. I sold the car as a rolling chasis about 2 months ago, to venture in my new project. An 84 T-top coupe.. Can see pics of it in my sig..But here a few track pics of the day with the Mickey's.. That is my buddy in the blue coupe and we grudged all day. He runs 11.8x's on motor...
