Manual trans guys -- tips for launching? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm all ready for Friday night, got my line lock installed, lots of tuning, and fixed an ignition problem.

How are you launching?

I'm planning to get to the line, set the lock, bring it to about 3500 RPM or so, and keep it about there until I see the lights start going...

Once the lights move, I'll bring the clutch out a bit until I feel it grab, -- let the line lock go, relase the clutch, and floor the bastard at the same time? Then I suppose I'll just keep it floored, and flat shift the whole way through 4th. Seems to be faster that way.

How do you do it? Any tips?
