I dump my Stang clutch at 5500 RPM and just rip the soft compound (BFG Zs)
off the rear. But what a site. The white cloud behind you and burnt rubber
smell....hehehehehe Oh yes! It was a 3.23 gears.

Hey man, whatever floats your boat right??? You have to Pay to Play, I
like
to drag race, I am a thrill seeker, I love dumping the clutch at 3500 rpms,
pulling 60' in under 1.9 seconds, what a Rush, but I also know there are
risks, and not only to a material truck, but to me ;)
BUT, that is totally my choice. I am fully prepared to face the
consequences
of severe abuse to the truck, or else I'd leave the truck in the garage.
