How do you race your 5-speed?
I was wondering how you guys race your 5-speeds. I am needing some techniques like what gear to take off in, and shifting. I have heard of some guys that never let off the gas pedal when they shift. What is the best way to drag race a five-speed in our trucks? Thanks

it works real good if ya got a good clutch
plus it makes a huge jump when you take off i usually at 3k or higher when i dump the clutch

01 smoker, Are you running your stock clutch with the drag comp and 150hp sticks?, I still running my stocker with the 100hp stick and ez, but really want to upgrade to a comp or drag comp.

I used to play with my 95, take off in second, then power shift the rest (don't let off fuel, tap the clutch and slam the next gear). Never had a problem, shifts pretty nice considering.
Good luck, RR
