You may also want to give Tim Hyatt a call. He will hook you up with a soft lock at a good price and give you excellent support to go with it. I go down the track consistently and have minimal maintenance as well, and started with no stick knowledge.

Brad Z is one of the most successful stick racers in the country, I don't think you need to look any farther than that on advice on how to run a stick car.

Re: Stick or Automatic
 

Thanks again everyone, it is greatly appreciated. These next questions might be elementary, but bare in mind I have been running .90 racing for years.

1. During burnout am I shifting.
2. Staging, am I holding light brake pressure through line lock and bumping in with clutch.
3. Once staged, the two step is wired to where (best location)
4. If my motors peak torque is 7000, peak hp over 9900, what rpm is the launch to start
testing.
5. With a Gforce, do I have to hold it in gear once I am in 5th.

Well, one thing I can tell you is that shifting a clutchless in the water, not a big deal. Shifting a clutch assisted, not good. Think BOOM!

McCleod also makes a 10" dual disc for those wondering.rich also 1 is you can shift in the burnout but it's not necessary,its all about wheel speed in the water box.2 yes 3 clutch pedal will give you the most consistant release off the 2 step,look at the rick's switch it is a completely hands free setup for a 2 step setup. 4 would be best answered by others here.5 no as long as it is under load it will hold itself in gear,but if you try to get off the gas and back on it will jump out of gear.
