Launching PSD

[FastFocus]

Hey all, just curious how you all launch your trucks. i've got a 6.0l torqueshift PSD and i launched it in 4x4Hi the other day, racing my buddy who has the Edge box with Attitude. she spun all 4 it felt like, then i heard a loud pop then she went.
Stalled it up to about 1500 then let off the brake and put her to the floor. Anyway, the pop concerned me as i don't want to lay the tranny, or any part of the tranny on the ground.
How do you all do it?

I spool up to 2100 and let her eat. 80k miles here.

2000 rpm is the sweet spot though.

so that popping noise doesnt mean anything? i know it didnt leave super hard, but she def. threw me into the seat at 1500.

The "POP" may have been the front hubs engaging

I've had my truck do that before, (not on a boosted launch though. )

I always switch to 4wd while stopped, then let the truck roll forward a little to lock the hubs. I hate that clunking sound.

I am not sure about the popping noise. Maybe its just the axles spinning till they hit the hubs?

You probably put it in 4wd then spooled didn't you?


Next time... put it in 4wd and drive it forward or backwards a little.

ok, actually yea i put it in neutral, switched to 4wd, coasted to a stop, then put it in gear and launched it. i know next time what to do. sorry, lol i'm used to cars with AWD, a little new to the whole switchable 4wd stuff.

thanks!!!!!!

Just wonderin, when do you kick it out of 4wheel? Or do ya go the whole track? Seems like it could end bad if you left in in the whole time.
