5.4

 

No i meant OP JeremyGSU

 

correct me in im wrong but isnt that power braking...isnt that what they were saying? lol but thanx for info. i think when i do it i get is around 2500 or so. good or bad?

 

when you are "power braking" what you are actually doing is pre loading the torque converter

 

ha ok just making sure. thought i was doing it wrong or something. any other tricks or advice on beating a hemi? i ordered a xcali3 today so maybe that will help

 

Nah, I got the 5.4 and yes it's 2wd. I'm gonna go back soon and drop the full spare this time and take out some stuff I keep in the bed. I want 15's dammit! lol

And I was preloading the tranny as much as I could on each run.

 

i found on my 03 loading the tranny = higher et's ,i got better time by stabbing the throttle-phil

 

You are pre-loading the torque converter and them some. Pre-load is right before the tires would begin to break and start spinning.

 

All I can say is dont' "power brake" it past 2200 rpms, my 4wd made a horrible noise when I did this. It still works fine and all but boy did that scare me. Come out of the hole like a bat out of hell though.

 

I hope you are not doing 4wd launches, thats a good way to break your truck, I can get the stockers to stick after a good burn of the tires and I make a good bit of power.

 

oooo power braking is a burnout? Don't think I have ever heard it being called power braking before. I have heard burnout, brake torque, brake stand but not power braking.

 

A guy my dad works with has a second gen cummins 4x4 running 66 pounds of boost and always launches his truck in 4 hi to get the traction as he runs low 12's. I don't know what kind of upgrades he has done to the drive train though

 

Where did I say that power brakeing is a burnout? I was talking about toque converter preload. I said that if the tires break when you are pre-loading that it is more than pre-loading.
