Nice pass man. You gotta work on your reaction time though

What are the specs of the engine/turbos? Do you have a build thread on this truck?

engine is a 6.0 with LS3 heads , stock crank and good pistons and rods built by Nickens racing engines.jakes TH400.
turbos are magnum 70's bb 96ar

as far as the reaction time lol...this was the 4th run down the track as we were rained out the Wednesday before so it left us chasing our tails race day...we were finding out where the rpm's and boost starts up so we could set the 2 step for the next run.we made adjustments and turned everything up to make another pass and they closed the track on us dammit!
all in all it was a good day...no leaks,ran straight,minor adjustments in suspension and just tune and tune and didn't break anything

we had started a build thread over on ls1truck but a lot of pics are not updated.

You should start a build thread over here. I, and i'm sure a lot of guys, would like to watch the progress. I was just kidding about the reaction time by the way. I knew what you were doing

The guys and I headed out to Sar...
First and only pass tonight.

Truck has a small miss when tbrakin at 3000rpms.

Terrible launch but good mph and acceleration. Check this out.

1.8355 sixty
4.4074 330ft
6.485 1/8 et
118.11 1/8 mph

Here's where the potnetial shows.
Only a 9.77 et , but 150.8 mph

Truck took off like a rocket after the eighth.
That's over 32mph gain after eighth. Just comparing to others and looking good so far.
We will get it lined out.
It tbraked to 14psi at the shop with no two step but got progressively worse as we tried diagnosing the issue. Maybe a temperamental coil, ray will find.

Looking forward to headin back out and entering that 8sec zone.

Btw only change were the heads. Still 17psi and 18psi peak.
Damn truck is movin!
