I give it two thumbs up

 

for timing reference the nhra class index for a car that runs in stock class K/FIA at a time of 9.45 in the 1/8th has a quarter mile index of 15.15. here is another example there is a guy that holds the national record for v/sa at 9.09 in the 1/8th at 72 mph. He also holds the 1/4 miler record in the same class and car with a 14.53 at 89 mph.. So you should run right around 15.0

 

thanks guys.... i'm gonna try to go to the local 1/4 mile track soon..... i just need to find a nice backroad to practice my launching technique.... i've had a few other people tell me it (the 9.37 pass) would have been anywhere from a 14.4-14.8 it all depends on how my truck pulls in high gear as i was crossing the line @ 3100 rpm in drive. if nothing else i'd like to go back to this track and try to get it down in the 8's before i spray it..... if it hadn't started raining i would have sprayed it and i know it would have gone in the 8's if i had gotten a good launch...... oh well....

 

There's always next time. Seems like it always rains when you go somewhere like that.

 

i know.... it hadn't rained in like a month and when i finally get a chance to go it farkin floods.... go figure

 

Welcome to my world!

 

With your mods I kinda thought youd be faster than that Benjamin...

 

mee too..... i'll pour the coals to it next time and go for broke...... i got my rollback guy in speed dial......

 

I think its your tranny thats holding you back...pull it out and ship it to me for an inspection...

 

i hear ya..... now i have heard and i know there have been plenty of threads on it but i heard a tripple disc will run slower than a single.....

i do believe that rotational mass is a big problem as the tires i have are real heavy. they are Maxxix Commercial and weigh more than any load range E i've ever used.... i have 4 of those, 4 rims, this heavy tranny and 100# + converter, the heavy SFI Billett flex plate. i know all of that adds up so i guess if i had a SRW, a stock or laminated flexplate and a lighter converter then i would be faster......

also i had both of my chrome trucker naked ladies in the grill..... i guess that added wind resistance and slowed me down...... and then the whip antenna..... i could come up with alot of excueses...... oh well it may not be faster than most cars or trucks but i'll hook to the back of them and drag them wherever they don't want to go.....
