TundraGeneral discussion forum for the 2007 and later Toyota Tundra.
This is a discussion thread titled "Drag Race", within the Tundra forum, part of the Truck Forums category.
Well made my choice and hope it will be alright. I am gonna take my new baby to Irwindale this evening and see how she stands against those SRT Jeep GC's. With only 330 miles on it I hope she is seated and ready for the beating she will recieve.
Anyone else draged yet? How do the stock tires grab without heating them up?
I will make a pass in 2wd and one in 4wd for sure to compare numbers.

hmm the tires that come with the trd package are kinda bad. I cant launch hard or else i'll just spin them up to 50 mph and have a layer of rubber in my tire wells. but in 4x4 you can launch it as hard as you want, Ive done it once to where I actually heard a chirp come from the tires. So it all depends on how well the track is prepped. if you have major traction problems like me then try and get some VHT trackbite to put on your tires. even better when you do a burn out in that stuff but they dont let trucks with street tires to burnouts in the waterbox. well thats about it, goodluck and post some times and the altitude that your track is at.

Not against you drag racing but i think it's a really bad idea with only 330 miles on it i think that you should wait. but like everyone else it's just a opinion.

pretty sure Toyota wouldn't recommend that
330mi+ drag racing= not a good method for breaking the motor.

FWIW, I've never babied or "broken in" a motor and have never had a motor failure.
(of course, that's with Ford........maybe Toyotas are more delicate??)

Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience!
I don't think drag racing it with 330 miles on it would hurt anything. If you've all ready rodded on it pretty good, whats the difference? I know most people cringe at the thought, but engines have to be loaded pretty hard and beat on to help them break-in.
My 408 Cleveland will get broke in on the engine dyno. They usually do a couple 1/2-3/4 throttle pulls, check everything out and start doing full throttle pulls. Keep doing full throttle pulls until the peak hp flattens out. Then, drop the oil and start tuning away. After that, the engine will get thrown in my truck and we're going to the track.
My dealer even told me, don't baby it, drive it hard, it'll be broke in right then.
Just my $.02

Recommend using AUTO LSD for the 2wd pass. Just hit the button momentarily as opposed to holding it for 3 seconds. If you turn everything off, my guess is you will just spin the rear tires; thus the suggestion to use AUTO LSD.

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."
Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.
After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.
Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.
Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.
Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.
Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.
A trip down the 1/4 mile track is no harder on your truck than quickly merging on to a fast moving freeway.
Be sure to post timeslips

I would agree with this because it's true. I hope you people know your engines and transmissions are tested before they are put in crates and sent to the assembly plants to be put into trucks.
As far as racing, stay out of 4x4 unless you want to ruin your drivetrain. You should not exceed 50mph in 4-HI.
