I have a 2003 GT Mustang 327 Gears, 4 spd auto tranny, shift kit, stock injectors, stock suspension, 4.6 04 Lincoln motor stock, BBK shorty Headers, with modified Cats, and a Kenne Bell supercharger inner cooler cold air intake running at 9psi boost. My Dyno was 377 rwhp and 410 torque. I want to take this car down to the track and either race somebody or see what it deos in a 1/4 mile. What is the best technique for a launch with a automatic tranny? Also do i need to do a burnout first if so how is that done also?
I really dont want to do a burnout if possible.
If you dont want to read a short story here's what you do..
Go around the water pit if possible, power brake your car just long enough to where the tires feel like they are sticking.
Keep it in drive, dont manually shift it from 1st to 2nd etc.
Point and shoot. If you want to get a really good run, get you some knock off wheels with a set of slicks and install a small stall and that will improve your launch dramatically.
If you take it to the track with street tires your going to spin.
