Second hook 4th gear

[aggar]

Here's a video of my second hook last night. It was a light sled and a fast track(for the dmaxes anyway). I ended up 5th with a pull of 331 and change. I was tached out in 3rd about halfway down the track so I tapped it up to 4th. Ran out of go at the end.


Let me know what you guys think. Maybe some more suggestions. My third hook will be tonight.

you didnt spin out did you? i couldnt tell, if ya didnt i would try droppin back to 3rd when the sled starts to stop you, ive never done it but ive been told that works for a few more in. and pullin is all about in.

I tried right there before the end and it wouldn't tap down. or maybe I need to hit 4th a little sooner to give me more time to be able to downshift to 3rd. No I didn't spin out at the end.

i tried it one time on a real loose track but i drained the rails and limped it when i shifted into 4th and it wouldnt let me down shift.

I don't know alot but,
IMO downshift=breakage
On the fly tuning is sweet on a slippery track.
Get to 3rd on like 100hp,
Then switch to kill, and ride it out.
I don't know, helped me to not blow the track away.
Worked once anyway.
Nice vid.

instead of downshifting at the end, you could wire in a switch to unlock the converter. It should allow you to spin out anyways.

Nice pull BTW, truck sounded good and wasn't wasting anytime getting to the other end. Love it.

A clean downshift at the right time will gain you a lot.
