ET Streets burnout time
Is there an optimum time for your burnout with ET Streets? Of course you can underheat them but can you overheat them where it would be counter productive?

I think it depends on power and stick or auto. Same goes for air pressure.
You may get some insight from someone with a comparable car. Then what about track conditions. They would have to be comparable.

Just curious, cause me likes to smoke 'em and I think it will be only worse since I intsalled the line lock over the weekend. It will be too easy not to!

I wait until I see smoke, usually pretty quick @ 6k and 2nd gear. Stage the car in the groove, activate the nitrous, hold @ 6-6800 depending on track conditions.... 1.40-1.43's all day long

Rob, the last time I saw you , the only thing that burned out was some excess gas in you tank on the way TO the track!!!!
