Default 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.....

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.....

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!
