Drag Racing Tech - best area to launch with stall

hey ive had this Stage 2 Performabuilt for a while with a 2500 stall and im not sure where to launch at, havnt been to track sence i got it... ive got BF Goodrich g-Force T/A 295s on it also.. any help would be greatly appreciated :thumb:

Trial and error

Hold brake, rev up a bit to take the slack out of the drivetrain then mash it on the 3rd yellow and let it eat ;)

yes, i realise that lol. i have been to track many times but always with an M5-6 or the stock POS tranny, once my stall kicks in it shits n gits so i want to make sure im not shittin without getting with so much spinning... Trial And error im guessing... some guy with a stock Honda Civic Si wants to race for cash and thinks he will win also lol.. he's stock :jest:

:devil: let him beat you the first race, then pull that double or nothing shit and really rob his ass. :devil:

Every car and combination will vary to a degree. You don't want to stall it as high as possible, as that will "push" the car out of the beams versus launching it at a lower rpm. My current 3800 stall I launch around 1700-2000 depending on reaction times I'm cutting (since I bracket race). The Honda shouldn't be a problem!

stock for stock the Honda shouldn't be a problem...

Get a real stall converter. That 2500 is way to small. JMO

3600+ stall is where you should be.

agreed.. but like posted above trial and error

trying stalling it up and also try just mashing it when its time to go.. find what works.. i can say as my stalls and setups have changed.. both have worked

put it in 1st.. come to a stop... Mat it.. se where rev goes before you move.. remember it... launch there...

power brakeing gives you a false converter stall....

and get a converter that suits your engines peak TQ range.. bigger is not always better. why put a 4500 stall in an eng that peak rpm is say 5100 and peak TQ is 1500... you just waisted your whole powerband in slip.

but i could be wrong. /shrug
:mullet:

just my 2 cents.
