Default All I got

Another track day, no traction and 73% + humidity. She just hasn't got anymore without a track rental and some cold-dry air.

We all want to be faster but you certainly don't have a slouch on your hands!!!! Validates my expectations of running solid 11s with my 408.

What does the truck weigh and do you have an approximate HP you think you are making?

Didn't see any dancing on the track, clean run. I can't wait to get my set up complete.

Don't worry the drier air is on the way. 44 degrees here, and I'm 30mi off the coast.

im not a expert but looks like you need to tighten up the rear with adjustable shocks if you dont have any. from the video looks like the truck jumps alittle then spins tires some.

Truck is 4140 lb in street trim with me in it. I was probably around 3970 lbs on track day I would guess. Last dyno about 8 mos ago shows 445/413 tq. with cutouts open on Dyno Jet.

I have QA-1's set stiff as can be. I see a little lift or something after launch but it seems to stay planted. I don't feel any spin after hooking. I probably need to get a real close vid of what is happening

Your NA setup is doing better than my FI setup. I;m just trying to get your 60' and would love for my truck to be as light as yours. Nice work!

~4700 with me in it. In full street trim it scaled 4440 at the local scrap yard. Only difference at the track is rear wheel change and occasionally I will remove the front sway bar.
