I hope not! I would think in a straight line at least it's ok. I shift out before turning off on to return road. Rpms aren't super high, I'm running 3.31s.

Nice run!!! What rpm do you launch at? I could see the truck lurching forward in the video so I know that you had one foot on the brake and the other trying to hold rmps.

Also, did you somehow heat cycle the tires prior to the run (i.e. do a burn out)?
Was the track prep'd very well?

Nice run.

And to the person asking about running the whole distance in 4x4. There's a lot of stock trucks that run mud pits in 4x4. They don't let off unless they're just spinning. I won't say you should run everywhere in 4x4, but short hits like a drag strip shouldn't hurt it too much. Even in 2WD there's some wear inside the transfer case, locking it in won't cause much more wear if any.

2000 & above for launch, depends on the conditions.

No burnouts. Track is usually pretty good, not always as good as when they're running the Summit events on the weekends.

Unreal, very impressive for an otherwise stock truck
