Set line lock, preload suspension so you wheelie bars are firmly seated against the ground. Prepare to launch at redline on the high boost setting, with the tiniest amount of clutch slip to keep the revs up, because if you bog on 26" slicks you'll blow drivetrain pieces all to flinders.

Or, at least that's how Jason does his 70 1/2 split bumper Camaro, with the 540" and 250 shot. I fail to see why it should be any different for a Honduh. :6

I used to run my A/C just to have both fans going. I guess everyone has their own methods...

I think the most important part to it is the first gear feather. Put that bitch in your hat and handle it like a peeyimp.

Re: how do you stage?
 

i'm pissed at the times...but i never drive the car anymore so i dunno how to really...and my tranny is fucked...it doesn't want to go into second gear...

first run

reaction .987
0-60 2.390
et 9.842
mph 72.909

2nd run

reaction .155
0-60 2.389
et 10.284
mph 68.569

but i couldn't get it in 2nd the second run...and the first i kind of delayed throwing it in second...it didn't run what it did before i got the car...but than again when he ran it...it was tuned, on slicks, completely stripped with only one seat and he knew how to drive it...does it make that much of a differance...that he got 8.4 and i get 9.8?

Re: how do you stage?
 

no need for cool down, with normal ECU's you need 170 water temp.......unless you've found a hack around that.

Hit the burnout box at 150-155 water temp, you-ll be at 165 when staging, then right at 170 when the tree lights up........

Little steps like this make you deadly consistant, esp. when you are bracket racing.

Re: how do you stage?
 

i usually do my 2nd gear burn out
pull up to the first stage
wait for other guy to stage
choke on the smoke coming out of the vents
bring the rpms up to my 2step @ 6.5k
ease the clutch out a lil to hit te second stage and leave on the third yellow

Re: how do you stage?
 

Uhm, why exactly? To build up more heat in the engine/cooling system? Because that's what you're doing w/ AC; it's an inefficient heat exchanger system that acts as a considerable load on the system. If you want more cooling, you're going to have to rig a switch to directly power the second fan instead of the whole AC system.
