Id say s10 with the exception of Syclones, Ford rangers. most toyota pickups and all other import trucks

I havent raced in a long while but What I used to do was load the chassi by pressing on the brake and then the gas till mabey 16-1800 RPM right before the rear tires started to slip then release the brake and floor it.
Youll have to figure out your best launch RPM

I have a '94 318 Dak. To get a great launch, Hold you left foot on the brake. about 1/4 second after punching the gas pedal, release the brake. The only problem you will have is Smokin' Tires.

I had one of those stupid S-10's years ago that would run 14's all day long.

To launch I would try and make the other guy stage first while heating up the tires. Load up the convertor and when the last amber light came on I would hit the gas. It takes a little while for the truck to react and actually break the light, by that time the green light is on. Try it a time or two, you will be amazed by your reaction times. In the beginning you might red light a couple of times until you get the hang of it, but it's great to hole shot someone with the same dial-in.

Wished I was out there racing, enjoy it while you can.
