New PB, anxiously waiting to put slicks on
 

Well I took the truck to the track tonight. I filled up as much E85 as I could put in it. My sensor showed 70.7% ethanol. At 15 PSI I went 11.34@129 with a 1.89 60'. At 21 PSI I went 11.43@133 with a 1.90 60'. This was with the factory Goodyear LS2 275/55/20 tires. Hopefully the slicks wake this thing up a little.

Great runs man! Love that mph!!!

Congrats on the PB! Cant wait to see what it pick up with the slicks!! Mid-low 11s with street tires... CRAZY.... Im going to be so slow......

No kidding....damn

how much timing?

example i ran 11.05@130 on 12.5 psi and 26* on a 5.3 93/meth

I was at 18 degrees. I was mainly running it to see how it was acting at the 2nd half of the track. I just can't get into the gas on the street without breaking the tires loose. It seemed to be pulling pretty good. I can still add a good amount of power to it.

Should easily go 10s on sticky tires

I am curious to see what it does on some good tires too. Looks like you were doing a bit of pedaling on the last two runs at the top of first and second. Good runs despite the lack of traction.

Thanks. Here are in cab views of the same runs. For some reason I blew the belt off on the last run. Must be I need a new belt or a stronger tensioner.

That's a nice MPH! Congrats man!!

Thanks, I can't wait to see some good times from her.

Nice run man for sure!

Very nice runs!! I like that mph

Thanks. I assume the MPH should be better when I get my wheels.

sooo, About those slicks??

I purchased Racestar wheels in February, and am still waiting for them to show up. The slicks, tubes, screws, and front runners have been waiting ever since to be installed.

133 letting out 2-3 times.... hahahaha. Youve donbe an amazing job with this truck.

Lets get this baby on the dyno.

Tks. I'm ready for some dyno pulls whenever you guys are.

I'm surprised you keep waiting for these phantom wheels.

I'm extremely happy with my decision to get Bogarts and will be ordering the fronts sooner or later. Very high quality, I'd seriously equate them to jewelry...they looked better than things I've wasted more money on at Tiffany's for ex's haha. Plus, it's much better to support USA made products than china

Every day I check to see if they are shipped I think of you already up and running. My main problem is, I have no money currently. I have a new child, a wife that doesn't have an income, and I need to put up a shop before winter. I am literally tapped. I haven't even been driving the truck since I took it to the track. Life sure does get in the way of fun.

all that stuff is way more important than the truck, especially the child

Yeah, I'm not complaining at all. I actually don't have a good setup for the 1/4 anyways, I need all 4 shocks. I really just want to make a good pass this year. Hopefully I can get it on the dyno and see some numbers

Well, at least your truck is already built! We just had our second child in June and my wife doesn't work either so building my truck is taking forever. I don't even want to think about how much longer it's going to take!! I bought the turbo and cam kit last Sept/Oct and I still haven't touched the truck. BUT I have a nice pile of parts laying around lol.

I actually had my truck built before we got married, so that helped a lot. Plus my father in law pulls tractors, so she is used to wrenching on toys. I also have a 72 Chevelle that I bought 25 years ago. I have all the parts for a twin turbo LY6 ready to go for that. Good thing I saved all those parts up over the years.

Hey bud Congrats on that wicked fast truck !!

I totally hear ya , i have similar things in my life right now that really really limit my play time and money . I havent ran at the track for 3 years , its always something . I need to get there , gonna show the haters what a lil 1900 will do ��

Tks man. It has been a long progress. I can't wait to really turn some times. I know it has much more left in it.
