Competition Another pulling newbie

[lcaad1249]

There's a competition this weekend a local place started where the remove the wheels and tires from an old truck and you pull it 150 (I think) feet, best time wins. I was looking for a few suggestions as I've never hooked up to a sled, just a few stuck mud trucks occasionaly. My current setup is a 04. 5 4x4 48RE auto with a Juice/Attitude, FASS 95 GPH, AFE Stage 1 with torque tube, the muffler mysteriously fell off, and H2 tires. By the weekend I'll be stacked with an EZ and the cat might fall off too, I can't decide. I'm just looking for advice on 4 low/high, how much boost before launch, whether to just hammer down, or to start off slower. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

4low in drive, lock out OD and let the transmission do it's thing. hold the brake and build about 8-10lbs of boost and hammer down.

Can the stock input shaft handle a boost launch? :{

not many times, but 8-10 lbs is pretty low, just enough to have a little lag on take off. but I would recommend some trans upgrades soon.
