Previously the best i could do was a 15.122 at 93.14mph with a 2.33 60'
I ran 3 times tonight, first 2 runs were about the same
15.199/15.135 @ 93.49&94.13 mph 2.367/2.37 60's
3rd and last run got me
60' 2.262
330' 6.353
1/8 9.758 @ 72.84
1/4 15.031 @ 94.01 Damn it!!
Almost made 14's
I'm pretty ok with the numbers as my fuel tank was like 5/8 full
compared to below 1/4 last time.
What do i need to do to drop my 60'????? Jeez, I launched good in 4wd and dont think I lost any traction.

Thank you,
Should'nt I be doing something in the mid to low 14's with a 94 mph trap speed?
I launched in 4hi, shifted to 2nd around 60' and held 2nd all the way down, rpm's going over 6000 @ about 90 mph.
What's in the #'s?

What could be wrong
?
It seems to flash to around 3000 and brake stalls about 2700?
I'll have to double check that. What should it be doing?
Don't forget I have an extended cab and weigh in at over 5350lbs @ 1/4 tank and was over at 1/2 last night.
Tire size matter? Stock tires are 31.7" (265/70/17's) and are also all terrain bridgestones. Maybe smaller tires?

Bill, great mph. I was running 14.40's at 95 mph when i first got my supercharger.
Those 60's are killing you. The power is there. I dont see why you cant cut at least a 2.0 with your stall and a 4wd. After the converter flashes, what is the truck doing? Bogging?
2/10's in the 60" should net you a around a 14.7-14.8 which is a very respectable time at your race weight.
How was the headwind wind last night?

I didn't want to talk about the wind....It was pushing off my rear left fender at 10 knots....not hurting my time, that's fer sure.
I dont feel it bogging as much if any like before but i am certainly lacking in the low end. That's why i was thinking of smaller tires, rather than re-gearing for a little more low end without cutting the top too much?

First run stalled to 1000 second 1500, 3rd about 2000rpms?
I am new at this, i am sure someone with more experience could do a little better. What would you suggest i stall to?
Edit: 4.56 would help, i'm 3.73, that's why i think smaller tires?
