When our local 1/8 mile opens again in the spring (Ohio Valley Dragway) I'd like to take my truck down there and see what it'll do. I only know maybe 3 people that have been to a strip and are trying to do it right, and they drive stick shift imports. What is the proper way to get going with a 350/400 turbo? I've heard some say just drop it into first from neutral, but that seems a little harsh to me.

Maybe because I don't like breaking things. And also, jsut to expand my knowledge base, has anyone figured out how many ponies a two piece stock driveshaft can take?
