I'm looking for some help from my Camaro buddys that run a two step to launch the car. My problem is that the car stumbles or boggs down when I try to use it. I started with it set at 2500 rpm and just killed my 60ft times :whine: so I tried rasing the rpms. I now have it at 4000 rpm and it...

Well this may seem like a dumb question but I am new at drag racing lol. But How do you guys launch your auto transmission cars? Meening do you bring up the rpm's ( stall the converter) as high as you can without pushing? Or do you just bring it up to like 1500 rpm and just flat foot it and...

I was told by coan racing to start by burnout in seconed and shift to third so that s what I did yesterday. I had two passes and ran a new best of 11.80 at 115 and on the third pass I went to shift from first to seconed and bang! No seconed gear! How can I keep this from happening? I spent...
