It's amazing what a difference traction, and two functioning knock sensors will make at the track.

Last time out, I ran a 14.75 @ 93, with a 2.14 60'.

Tonight, I was able to make 8 passes, with the truck set up exactly the same except for a couple things:
1. Replaced both knock sensors
2. Dropped the air pressure about 5 psi in the front, and 10 in the rear.
3. Had about a 50/50 mix of 92 and 87 octane, instead of straight 87 (I doubt that did anything, though ).

Both times I ran with the spare tire and jack removed, junk removed from under the rear seat, and everything else was how I drive it every day.

First run:
14.202 @ 95.03 with a 2.014 60'

Second run (some failed experimentation went on here):
14.637 @ 93.65 with a 1.993 60'

Third run:
14.143 @ 95.29 with a 1.974 60'

Fourth run:
14.071 @ 95.29 with a 1.961 60'

Fifth run (I think I may have let off a little early by accident):
14.288 @ 93.87 with a 1.981 60'

Sixth, and best run:
14.048 @ 95.14 with a 1.944 60'

Seventh run:
14.062 @ 94.85 with a 1.943 60'

Eighth run (truck was still hot from the previous run, never even shut off):
14.251 @ 94.55 with a 1.997 60'

Overall, I'm ******* ecstatic with the times. Judging by the looks and questions I was getting, almost breaking into the 13s with an ext. cab 4x4 truck on mud tires doesn't happen often.

Once I ditch the blowmaster and dual 2.25" bullshit, I think I should be able to squeak into the 13s.

 

Runnin good man! Congrats

 

Pretty good runs

 

Man thats a big improvement over last time! Congrats!!

keep tweakin and you'll be there!!!

 

Congrats! some nice runs!

 

much better, its where I would have expected it to run. Your last times were a little off for the mods you list. Some winter air and you will be in the 13s.

 

Nice times for what it is. Just curious what were the trans temps before/after your runs? I surely hope you were not hot lapping this thing!

 

13's soon!

what track were you at?

 

Congrats, knocking on the door!

Seriously Vince? My best times are done on back to back runs (my temps never exceed 200*, ever)

 

Only really ran it hot once, and that was with 8 minutes between runs. Everything else was at least 35+ minutes between runs.

I have no clue on temps, I still haven't figured out a cost effective way to hook up a trans temp gauge. I'm running the Trucool 40k, so I'm thinking (well, hoping) they weren't too bad, plus it was about 65* when I ran the back-to-back runs.

Yeah the bad knock sensor was definitely a bit of an issue.

I was at Atco. 8 runs for $15 ain't too bad.
