What are the plans for it now? Will you be racing it more often?

Well, I daily drive it, tow a camper with it every other weekend, do some roll racing with the locals occasionally on Sunday nights, etc. I will probably hit up the track again once the temps cool down to see what it does in good air, then would like to do a torque converter in it over the winter, it really needs a higher stall speed torque converter to get rid of some of that turbo lag which I am sure you can see in the video off the line.

That was a great video, the only thing that could have added to the awesome factor is if you had beat him by a tenth. Nice setup, Mike!

I made another pass in the truck last night, I got the 60 ft time down about a tenth and went 11.3 @ 128mph, its a torque converter away from being a solid 10 second street truck, which I am going to be doing soon.



Stay tuned as build thread part 3 is coming soon, this time with a 2014 Silverado...

I saw that last night, congrats very impressive. The car is running good too! Don't tell Choda you are doing a 2014, he will be at your shop every day.

I'm looking at the date on that timeslip, and I'm thinking:

A. That you went fast enough to go back in time.
B. Their clocks need to be changed.

Both of these are plausible.

That's a great pass.

You mean forward in time?

Because it's dated the 14th and it's only the 13th day but was ran on the 12th?
