Im doing a sexond gear burnout and the psi was at 12. The track was shit yesterday. Track temp was probably 130 if not higher. later on when it cooled off the hook and bogged me down a little but that was leaving off the clutch normal and ran a 13.412. I cant use my 2 step with these because they just spin.

why is it better to burnout in 2nd than 1st gear?

run your nittos at 13 psi, do a 15- second burnout rev it up and sidestep the clutch and if the track is prepped decently, youshould hook. i have a picture somewhere of my car with the front tires off the ground with 17 inch 315 nittos. ive cut 1.71 60 foot times on them.

1st gear especially with gears won't spin the tires over fast enough to actually get any heat in them.

Ive even heard that if you had a good clutch and tranny you could even do a third gear BO. But dont know if thats true or not
