RE: First time on slicks
 

I believe the axels, but it has a mac jr. mega bite,with kyb gas replacement shocks on it...the tire size is 26x8.5 m/t's with a posi rear-end, when you say work do you mean motor wise?

I say start out around 2500 or so and give it hell between the gears. You can allways adjust your launch RPM's to fit your needs. Put your tires on the car and practice on the street somewhere.

i would practice on the street but i am in college and the tires are being sent back home to be mounted so there actually going to get to the track about 30mintues after i do

have fun and work your way up the rpms and see what works best for you

If your running true slicks and launch at 2500 you will probably make an a$$ out yourself lol. You'll probably bog, rev that fuker up!

You will have to heat them in second gear...you might want to practice to brake stands before you get there....it is much harder when you have a lot of people watching you. I always go into the water box, spin them a little in first gear to get them wet, then roll out of the water, put it in second, rev it up to around 4 grand and dump the clutch and grab the brake and spin them till you see smoke, let off the brake and ease up on the gas (you will start to move) and go till the tires grab...then you are good to go. I was launching at 4000 rpms and it worked great...but I didn't dump the clutch, just let it out really fast. You will probably bog if you launch too low of rpms or let the cluch out too fast, so if you do, just raise your rmps on the next launch by 500 or so and go till you don't bog or spin.....I would start at 3000.
