We use 1st, then 2nd gear for the burnout. Could easily use 2nd gear to start with, but it's Melissa's routine now.  SteveW

thats exactly what i do steve. just did not want to hurt anything. wonder if it would be easier on it just starting in 2nd and staying there. i have heard that a 2-3 shift is really bad on them.------------------

I start my burnout in second and stay in second. Tires get plenty of heat.

On a smal tire low HP car, 1-2 is plenty.
We use that system with the convert and many others.
MM and Tony's car use 1-2-3 to get more wheel speed as they tires are taller.------------------

Alex, how many runs do you get out of a rebuild?

On my car, I start off in 2nd, whack the throttle to get them spinning, then shift it into high right away. On KK's car, we start in low and shift to second.

I go 1-2-3 and then lay into the throttle as the engine starts to load. Hold it at 6000 for a couple of seconds and roll out. Here is where I start backing out of the throttle. You know that point when the tires dead hook and the engine loads hard and the car lunges forward? I feel that is hard on high gear and the converter. Think about the tires spinning at 90MPH and then dead hooking. I don't like that. Using this method has worked well for me. I have been tearing down my tranny every winter and the clutches always look good. ------------------

6000? I normally come out of the water around 7200. Unless there are a lot of spectators, then I come out of the water on the chip at 8k.
