I took my truck out for the first time to the track last night. The conditions were less than favorable but the truck seemed to run well. It was about 84 degrees with close to 100% humidity at sea level.

My first pass was on stock tire pressure and it turned out to be the best. I was at 35psi on the stock tires. The truck is a crew cab, 2wd vortec max and the only mod it has right now is a corsa sport cat back.

My 60' times were identical on all three passes that I made. All of them were 2.34. My G80 wasnt locking so maybe if it was working properly times might have been a little better.

The best time was as follows.

2.34 60'
9.90 1/8th
15.3 @90 in the 1/4

I think 14s will be very easy with just a tune and intake. I have an outlaw intake on the way, and plan to use a diablo tuner for now.

Im thinking in the back of my mind that when my other truck is sold, a radix might be on the way but am worried about the lq9 with a radix. What do you think?

 

14's are probably capable with cool air. not bad times at all with just an exhaust. heavy truck too. damn. i wish i had a newer model to throw mods at.. you guys have it good

 

Well i dont expect much just from the intake, but I think the tune is where its really at. I think a tune alone should net me in the 14s

 

What track did you go to?

 

Moroso, WPB

 

Dmn those VMax's really pump, huh! I am only a few tenths faster with my 5.3L excab with all the $$ i've thrown at it!.
A few mods and that CC will be screaming!

 

I certainly smell a radix as soon as my other truck sells!

 

bad assed times man, specially with just a cat back. my ole 360 busted out a best of 15.45 @ 87 with a 2.22 60'. it had an airaid intake on it not even CAI just suckin hot engine air sucks... on my stock 40 psi goodyear RSA's. i guess i gotta watch out for those Vmaxx's now huh?

 

I think youll be suprised what a CAI will do. I wouldnt be suprised if it gets you a 14.9

 

4 tenths from a CAI? That's asking alot imo, considering among other things, where he's racing.

Better air might help, but you can't hold out for that, based on my experience at Moroso. You're at the perfect altitude and humidity is your biggest enemy. There are few days with low humidity in WPB. There was a time they printed humidity on the timeslips, but I haven't seen that in years. Of course, I haven't raced at Moroso in a long time either.
