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

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.

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. 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.

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
