looking good ,did you get a clean pass ,what did you run

YIKES! That looked violent! I am not a huge chassis guy (hence some of my struggles recently) but I was told that the fastest passes are the ones that look the slowest (smoothest). My analysis is your rear shocks are too soft on the compression and you could use some front limiters ??

Are you running a 727.. if so that move backing up and
just pulling forward a few inches is a bad move.. you
dont set the sprag doing that

1st thing I thought too then how violent the chassis is..........w/work it will fly...........

Gonna fly when you get it sorted out!!!

it needs a bar change, it has to much squat in the rear and I'm pretty sure the rear shocks are too soft as they are just a set of single adjustable strange coil overs. Also I already plan on front end limiters, you have to make a pass to see where you need to go with a four link.

I have a Coan racing billet trans brake valve body with low band apply. the rolling forward was all due to my lack of experience with a trans brake, I have always foot braked the truck till last Saturday.

I made a boo boo staging, that is why I backed up, waited on the other guy, then rolled back in. Any advice on staging with a Trans brake will be appreciated.

Trans brake is easy... just ALWAYS be rolling forward
so it sets the sprag.. IF you back up make sure you roll
in forward ABOUT 4' to set the sprag... when you hit the
prestage light bring up the revs to about 1500 or more..
(some trans brakes will creep if you arent up in the rpm
some).. creep in to set the stage light(try to always be
the same location).. then hit the button.. it MIGHT roll
back and forth if your moving when you hit the button(slack
in the drive train).. then get the revs and be ready

Mike, you really have to roll it forward 4 feet if you had to back up to set the sprag? I have never had the issue but just in case.... Or did you mean about 4 inches?

Also, as hint, I like to pre-stage first and wait for the other to pre-stage so as soon as he does, I can be ready... Sometimes the lights can be quick (so it seems with autostart).

But with more experience, I guess it will come as second nature.

Cool ride, keep up the good work.

The trans break is a different animal.

I meant ABOUT 4 FEET.. I found out in my driveway teaching
my new driver doing burn outs.. 2 feet forward didnt set it
and it was easy to see that it didnt set... was REAL slow to
accelerate(spin the tires).. as soon as I seen he wasnt spinning
I shut him down then had him roll forward again

I agree with Mr P....you need to roll forward about 4 feet to make sure the sprag is set. Looks like you were at Gainesville.

Um, it says SGMP in the video title......

Not sure how far forward you have to go to set the sprag. But that vid shows how Not to go down the track. Sloppy and not alot of control. Okay, a little harsh, but get it under control and you have a great ride. She's a beast alright. Get her tamed and in control.

Don't hurt my feelings none, but since this is the first pass in the truck in two years and with an all new engine and nitrous combo in it, I can't complain too much about it.
I now know what changes need to be made and what mistakes I need to correct

Yeah mate make a few rear end changes and all good, great stuff !

Thanks! I will keep that in mind!

While I'll have the R's up slightly, I don't wood it until the tree starts coming down. Getting up on the trans brake creates a lot of heat like RIGHT NOW!

Can't do that when you run a Pro tree!
