saturday will be my first pull of this season and i have stepped up to a ppe tuner, i was running the banks 6 gun last year and it sucked, my truck wouldnt pull 3rd gear, im going to run the ppe on level 4 or 5, still havent figured it out. my question is should i launch under power or just roll into it like i did last year? i had good results with how it pulled just rolling into it.

With a stock turbo I would just roll into it, just do it quickly. Stock turbos light very easy. If the sled is real heavy and the track bites hard then build some boost and launch it hard. A lot will depend on track conditions.

Just wanted to throw a few questions out there for everyone. What power levels can you run before a lift pump is required?

Cardinal didn't see it in your signature. do you run a lift pump? Do you clamp your rear springs or run any type of traction bars? Not sure what the pulls in your area allow, but clamping the springs at minimal would help a lot, also suspension stops help a lot in the rear.

Ok, that would have been my suggestions. Guess you have that covered. :thumb:
