good job puttin your truck out there to see what its got. i want to run a 1/4 mile someday just for fun, none very close to me. im sure you can improve with some trial and error testing.

thats about a 15.15 if it keeps pulling hard after the 1/8. I used a online calculator.
thats good but the 3.54 gears and the 727 are really holding you back past the 1/8th mile. for sure.
Our 91 did a 14.9 by the time we sold it, because we had slicks on it. still an open rear that spun even with the slicks, very stock truck
on street tires it ran a 15.5.. mods are in the vid description.

we ran at nhrda event in topeka ks, last month, spun the tires the whole first 1/8 for a 12 something, hooked up the second 1/8 and made it in 5.1 fo 91 mph, that first 1/8 was a scary ride, and of course my helmet was in the seat beside me, never claimed to be very smart, 4wd next time

Me and my buddies go out there every now and then. Would be good to see another 1st gen there. PM me or find me in chapter 42 before next time you go out there. I can't run cuz my clutch but I can sure watch!
