Default new best with 6.0

went to the track today to try out the 6.0 i swapped last week. heres the results. keep in mind this is at 5800ft at bandimere speedway. It was with the 20's and i spun off the line.

60'.....2.517
1/8.....10.031
mph.....74.31
1000.....12.930
1/4.....15.407
mph.....91.22

Not bad i gained 1.2 seconds from the the 4.8 i had. 15.4 is what a stock lightning runs up here. Can anybody convert my 1/4 to sea level?

if you could get your 60' down to 2.00's you would drop 1 second off your time easy.

Do google for NHRA correction factors. Great swap!

Yep you need to work on getting the truck to hook up which will result in a lower 60' time then you can add more power. Hook up loose the 20s at least on race day and you will have a low 14sec truck if not high 13s

Nice times! The correction says you would be low 14's @ sea level, but you will most likely be in the 13's. Everything I have ran both places picked up more at sea level than the correction said. At Bandimere I went 10.85 @14.5psi, and down in Vegas(2300' elv) on a 95* day I went 10.59 with only 12psi.
