Default First time at the track with Silver Bullet

Made it to the track last night and was able to get a best of 14.16 @ 97.56. I got my truck as light as possible. No tailgate, no spare tire, and no passenger seat or console. still had the heavy 20" rims with 275/55/20 street tires all around and weighed in at 4225 (without me) with about 1/2 tank of gas. got 9 runs in and was lowering my 60' each time. I didn't have any traction issues so I think I just need to stall it higher until I start spinning. did not get a chance to find my limit or my lowest 60'.

Here is my first (slowest) and my best




hoping to find a set of track wheels (some stock 16" aluminum and throw some slicks on the back ) to help get out of that hole faster. if I can knock it down to 2.0 or less I will be in the high 13's

Just saw this in your other thread. Nice looking and running truck! Makes me wish I had my Silverbirch 05 back. What were you stalling at?

I am not sure, I did not look down just did it by feel and sound. I was not logging either so I do not have any data. one of the runs i stalled too high and started spinning the rear tires. I think I am close to my limit with my street tires but I need to go to the track again to figure out my max stall (actually look at the tach). after that I can get some slicks and stall a bit higher (i think thats how it would work).
