Launch In 2nd With a Big Shot?

1st gear is so short, and with a big shot, like 100+, maybe launching in second would work out better. Anyone ever try? Thats one less shift to make, and if you spray right out of the hole, you should accelerate like mad, and not have as much wheelspin. Cruious to see what others think.

I dont know, if you were to launch at 6500 rpms, and then spray, it shouldnt stay in the low rpms to long. I suppose I will have to try it sometime.

That could work. Make sure to launch high and spray off the bat!

I already launch at 5k in first gear, so I doubt 6.5k will do it. Id just grab some BFGs. You should be able to hook a 1OO shot on them.
