Re:Raced the truck

I'll bet you could lose about .2 or so seconds if you raced with only a 1/4 tank of fuel.

Re:Raced the truck

I know I have to be running somewhere in the 15's cause I can beat dead stock (and even modded) V6 stangs through the 1/4 mile.

Re:Raced the truck

I have once heard that for every 100 pounds you take off you take a tenth off your 1/4 mile time.

Re:Raced the truck

I didn't do any burnouts to warm the tires but was able to get down to 14.86 at 96 mph, my truck weighs almost 8,000#.<br>Bruce

19.354 @ 71.25
60' 3.051
Mean burnout, no tirespin, mashed, full fuel tank, only performance mods are intake and straight pipe
so after all that.. is that a decent time or is that just stupidly slow?

Bone stock = 17.53 I'll have to find the time slip for the other info. It was only the second run and I broke out on a 17.55 dial-in. Still had fun and was suprised that it ran that good! ;D

Re:Raced the truck

We don't have any 1/4 tracks close (about 2 hrs away) and I haven't measured any place yet to try. But my 0 - 60 mph is under 8 seconds, truck weighing in around 6700 lbs. Tires starting to go a little bald so I haven't tried lately. But after inspection in August, watch out.... LOL

Re:Raced the truck

I had an oppertunity to run at the local track in Florida a couple of months ago Moroso Motor Sport Park in Palm Beach. I found out allot of things I did not know and met some really cool people who are overcrazed twin turbo/header NOS diesel nuts.<br><br>( William Lujan Motor sports Miami, FL) and the guys.<br><br>My truck is a 4X4 so I did a launch in it. <br><br>my best run was:<br>R/T .998 <br>60' 1.974<br>330 5.650<br>1/8 8.713<br>MPH 80.78<br>1000 11.356<br>1/4 13.597<br>MPH 101.<br><br>Lots of things to work on.<br>1)The proper way to stage.<br>2) How much boost to take of in.<br>3) do not go through the water box.<br><br>But for the first time out I thought that the 7,130lb truck did great. I am going to make some changes intake and exhaust and next week run again, hope to get in the high 12,s will see. OverFueled
