I know, i know street racing is bad but i cant help myself. Anyway I plan on adding a chip and maybe a 6lb pulley to help me out(btw any suggestions on what types and such to run enlighten me, im a beginner when it comes to this stuff) but if i start in 2nd gear will it give me more power? less power? and will it hurt the truck?

 

Just put it in first gear and leave it there.

 

R is for racing. Duh

 

what i do is leave it in Drive then when it shifts from 1st to 2nd i put it in 2 then when u have no more put it back in D. that what i did and ran my best time at the track

 

This thread has to be a joke :o

Come again?

 

If you take of from a stop with it in "Manual 2" you are gonna take of in second gear. If that is what you want then so be it but you will be without a lot of power and your trans won't like it. -Mat-

 

It also stand for Remember to put on your seat belt when you put it in R, especially when you nail the throttle.
Try this to get optimum heat in your rear tires: Put it in the R gear (racing gear, remember), nail it and hold it for a few seconds. Then quickly grab the gear lever and slam it into 1. Hold the engine a WOT. Don't worry about overrevving.

 

George, you forgot to mention calling Greg Evans when you are done with the R is for racing thing!

 

If you cant get out the hole in 1st you can start in 2nd. When I got my 20's from the guy they had 255/35/20 tires and hooking up was a joke. I could start in 2nd and only have to shift one time and still ran 12.90's. All it does it make you have less low end power. Kind of makes your tranny act like a POWERGLYDE!!!

SO to answer, yes it can be done if you cant get the truck to launch using first gear.

 

Type.........This has got to be the funniest thread ever

 

 

I remember a caranddriver or motortrend???? article that said quote "best times were achieved by putting the transmission in second gear and nailing the throttle off the line" or something like that.

I think that was in 99??

Maybye 2000.. but the truck wouldnt hook , and they figured why not just smoke the clutchplates??

Anybody?

 

I am also amazed.........

Drive it like you stole it! If it doesn't belong to them, or have to be repaired by them, I guess anything is fair.

However, when you pay for repairs, that's different.
