Will A Big Smoky Burnout Improve My 1/4 Mile Time?

[Lazy-Bastard]

Just wondering if a bigger burnout will give me a better 60'/ 1/4 mile time.

My current method is to just dump it in 2nd and feather the throttle until it grips up.

If I do a brake stand and hold the revs at say 5000 in 2nd until they really start smoking, am I likely to get a better launch and 1/4 time?

I have my 60' down to a consistent 1.8x on Federal SS595's....can this be improved via the burnout.

What are other peoples burnout techniques?

1.8 60ft with normal street tyres and your complaining?.. hahah i doubt there will be any improvements but thats just my 2cents!

LOL, I'm not really complaining, just wondering if there is any improvement to be made with a big burnout. If not, I'll just keep using the same method.

I would say no mate, street tyres aren't designed to work well with a large amount of heat in them. I would say keep going with your "soft" burnouts

Tried launching in first though??? Obviously more wheelspin but if you nail it I reckon it would improve the time.....

LOL, I hope that was a joke.... I don't launch in 2nd, I do my burnout in 2nd.

Hmm I wonder what a 2nd gear take off with grippy tyres and some power would be like...
