Default any idea what it'll run?

Just wondering if there were any thoughts on what the truck will run this weekend in Sealy. I'm hoping for low 14's, but 13's would be a very nice surprise. I'm still all stock as far as boost and tune go, but I will have a set of 18's with 295/45's on the back and 235/50's on the front to cut down weight and the added bonus of not burning up the pirelli's on the 22's. Truck supposedly has 450hp stock, so probably in the 350 range at the rear wheels.

I have no idea what it will run, but I'm interested to see the results.

I've seen tests that said anywhere from 14.2 - 14.7......the 14.2 was at 95 mph which is where the top speed limiter is set. So I'm thinking with tires & wheels that weigh 100-150lbs less for the set if I can get a good 60ft I should be in the 14.0-14.1 range, anything better than that and I will be extremely happy. Ofcourse I'm also thinking that I will be hitting the 95 mark and sticking there until the end of the run which would drastically change my times.

So 14.0-14.1 on the speed limiter would make me really happy because with a tune and +2 pulley that could easily be high 13's

im going to guess 14.8.... those trucks are way over rated thats why i say 14.8.... maybe 14.5 if you get traction.. good luck

hope you have something to correct the speedo, cause your truck will think you are going much faster than you actually are with the 295/45/18 on there. you'll hit the speed limiter going ~ 85 mph.

good point......no tuning software yet, but the difference shouldn't be that large.....should be more like 90-92 when the speed limiter cuts in

if you truly have 350 rwhp it should run low 14s.

In my ecsb ~4700lbs with me in it, around 325-345 rwhp (est.) and a perfect launch as I can get on the stock converter, 2.1 60' went 14.0 @ 96.6

its a big difference. I did the math. 85 is where it will cut at
