Spinning at launch may not be the problem you think, as they prep the tracks first 10-20 feet with an traction compound, makes the tires stick better. Unless there is a lot of nylon in the tires compound, nylon makes the tire last longer but makes the rubber harder and therefore it spins easyer.

loading the truck will shorten the reaction time by loading the suspension, but this may not help with the 60 foot time as the torgue converter is not being "flashed".

When I had a stock torque converter in one of my past lightnings, I would just stomp the gas on the light and go, my 60 foot was .20 average better but the reaction time was ,15-.2 slower. That was what the truck would take to start rolling. Stomping the gas ould get the torque converter working harder faster, " flash"

have fun. I would like you to see ... 16 seconds?

 

I forgot about them using the traction aid on the track. When we go i'll try both and see which one has the best result. As far as the tires go I'm still running the Continental Contitracs on my truck so I don't know what kind of material their made out of. I figured I could run 16 seconds at least with a good run.

 

Let's just hope no Tundra's show up wanting to play!

 

Driveshaft?

 

Yea i'm sure that could shave me some weight! The only problem is getting my truck to move though!

 

I never thought about loading up the suspension too in that regard.

I agree just flash the convertor, maybe slightly stall it to get it off of the idle.

Also floor it on the second yellow light instead of actually waiting until you see the green light

 

I'm confused about the "flash the convertor" part.

 

It has to do with the way the convertor works. Basically the engine side of the convertor is like a boat propeller (atleast in principle) and then there is an identical piece on the trans side.

When engine rotation is delivered into the impeller, it spins and "throws" fluid around in the convertor and forces the other one to spin. when one is spinning and the other isnt, there is a loss of momentum in the fluid. So when you floor it, the convertor is supposed to "flash" up to speed and can actually provide more low end torque.

Its really hard to explain to someone that knows very little about it. So heres a video i found. second half is more relevant to my explanation.
