going to be in a pull next weekend. any tips??

Ok i am going to put my truck in a sled pull next weekend. The class i am gunna put it in is for stock class diesl pickups. only mods u can have is airfilters, programers and exhaust. My truck is a early 04 with 4" straight pipe w/t a stack. a quadzilla x2. and it is a 6sp w/t 3.73's. and i will be running a set of mastercraft 285' 70'17 CT's."there are REAL close to cooper st's"

What gear should i pull in?? low or hi range? Any good tips or anything?? I have never pulled a sled before.

if ya do some searching around here you will probably find your answer. however do yo have a stock or aftermarket clutch?

if ya have something like a double disk i would say 4th low range. if its stock i wouldn't go more then 3rd low range and not slip the clutch much at all or you'll fry it.

I know the guy who is running the pulls. He told me programers and exhaust are all u can have. and it MUST be plated and insured. But i dunno what they will say about my lift?

My truck dosn't really smoke that much, even with the smoke mod on my X2.


I am running a stock clutch. " i think?" What ever it had when i bought it at 100k.
