Leave in manual low?



No, put the shifter in second then hit the pedal pretty
good... its going to start out in low then it'll
shift on its own pretty quick then get the revs up
a bit more and then shift into drive... let it burn
forward a few feet then back off the pedal... pull to
the line... you can manually shift it if you want or
put it in drive... your choice


I don't agree with this(Respectfully) because you will be starting out against the sprag alone. Put in low and you will apply the low band, therefore helping the sprag hold all of the torque you are putting to it , trying to get the tires lit.
Remember, this is not a mv body.
Please explain if I'm off base here.


i'm with remcharger on this. anything you can do to protect the sprag should be implemented. manual low may seem redundant if it jumps right into second, but weird things happen. a lot of stuff blows up in the burnout box. i ran an automatic valve body for a long time, and i always started in manual low, whether in the burnout box, or on the track.

for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?
