Question Automatic Launch tec.

Hey guys!
I know the rear end in the 4th gen v6s (3.8L) are a lil unstable for the amount of torque the 3800 puts out...what techniques are key for a good...and SAFE automatic tranny launch so I don't blow the spider gears?

brake stall it to 1000-1500 rpms and floor it.....or walk it out if traction becomes an issue.

Um, we run the same rear's in the V6's and V8's.

You shouldn't have ANY problems with the potential of 'blowing the spider gears'

Leave it in overdrive.
For that year v6... you should be able to stall the converter up to 1,800 rpm's.

Maybe we will run into each other at englishtown.

My v6.... is... not stock
