so i finally got to the track......
 
and it rained. i got 2 passes in. both were in daily driving mode. first pass felt good. i know i was lacking on the launch a lil but i was afrais of all the stock stuff that might break. i went 9.37 @75 mph and the second pass i tripped the second bulb too early and didn't have it spooled up enough and bogged like hell and ran a 9.79 @ 77 mph. all in all it was a good night. i drove to the track and drove it home.
here are the specs on the faster pass.....

R/T .9171 (ya i know)
60 ft 2.2037
330ft 6.1168
594ft 8.7767
1/8th 9.3729

any way i'm happy it's faster than i thought it would be. and i outran a fox mustang that went 10's.....

what would this be in the 1/4?

Benjamin 08-17-2007 10:51 PM

i'm not sure..... there are so many variations on that to get an accurate guess....

normlly i get a good light but this was my first time in this truck..... and i still haven't quite gotten the boosted launch w/o blowing the tires off the truck down pat yet. so i wasn't gonna go out there and beat on it and chance the posiability of not being able to drive it hime..... but it has been over 2 years since i've made a pass down the strip..... maybe a little rusty.....

i found a calculator formula and it came out to to high 14's in theory.....

That reaction time is the hardest thing to get, takes alot of practice

Like jason said, get the RT down and you've got a very respectable run with a truck that drove to the track. nicely done!
