Default results, well sorta......

Wanted to see what the truck had in it since all the updates.

The track was slick since the dew was falling and spun bad out of the hole and broke a piston before the 1000' mark. This was on 6psi and pump 93oct and the trusty old 5.3.

60'--- 2.1
1/4--- 12.51
Mph--- 110.7

I'm confident that if it would have stayed together it would have went deep into the 11s on the next pass, and maybe even broke into the 11s on that one... Who knows though.

The 140K 5.3 was put through pure hell and took every bit of it like a champ.

Right before it went I happened to catch the wideband blink 12.0 for a split second and then it nosed over.... I couldn't believe that went as fast as it did on 3/4 of a pass!!!! It felt like I stood in the brakes when it broke

On to BIGGER and better things the plan is to have it running in time for the LS1truck meet at SAR in Feb....

Good deal Brian, lemme know when you find out something.

I'm not in a frenzy to get it back running since its not my DD but as long as its got the bugs worked out for Feb ill be happy.... Can't decide on if ill step to the T76 with the new motor or not yet.... Got some plans for it though.
