Someone else here did a GtechPro run for me for my truck... It produced
a number that was not anywhere close to my actually time/speed.
What has been done to the 4x4??? My best time of 15.4@90.7 mph was
accomplished with very little wheelspin at the start, and shifting at max
hp each
gear (4400 rpm).
Just curious, but what launch techniques do you 5 spd guys use? I want
to keep my truck a while, so all of my runs have been 1500-1800 rpm rev,
then go
(not dropping clutch, but letting it out rather quick, then flooring it...
one time I bogged,
the others I got a quick wheel spin, then off I went).
