Track racing questions - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

ScreeminMach · 02-19-2016, 02:28 PM

I am going to the track for the first time with a set of Nitto NT555's, 315 35 17's and I was wondering about launch RPM's and if I should do a burn out or not. If so, how intense?

No burnout really needed on street tires

Burnouts actually hurt street tires

Go around the burnout box completely, don't want water on your tires. I usually spin them just a bit before I pull to the line, just to clean them off. I don't even get them smoking, then just pull up and pre-stage and then stage when your ready. Have fun and let us know what it runs!

With street tires the best I was able to do on the launch was about 2,000 rpms slipping the clutch to get a 2.0 on 275s. With 315s I think a 1.9 is doable.

I managed a 1.8 one time on 555R's at like 17lbs after a fair burnout. Although I wouldn't do much of a burnout if you can help it. Our local track is shitty and there is no room to go around the water. I think I left around 2500ish.

Thanks for all the info. I'm leaving for the track right now so I will let you know what it runs. I have an auto trans but I just put in a Circle D converter with a 3500 stall. I can't wait to see what it runs!
