Ive ran pretty much the same time in the HEAT in full street trim, and im only running a Comp 224, TCI3000, 3.42 gears, STOCK heads, Stock truck intake, and the usual bolt-ons.

 

yea im still expecting more out of this. im still blowing black smoke but my A/F is around 13.0. right now im toying with gearing. im low in the rpms with the 28s and 410s with 410s and 26s im 6100 still not where i need to be. also different tracks different times. its not at its full potential yet thats for sure. i might start to play with the tune some more when i get the new gearing

but im also full street weight no weight difference from track to street

also V8 and bluecajun are lighter trucks they weigh in about 500lbs or so less then I am and 2/10s faster

 

They weigh in at about 4600-4800 not that big a difference. Not ******* your setup at all just trying to figure out why you arent where you "should" be. I would think you should be atleast a half second faster. Good luck getting your bugs worked out. The black smoke thing is a bit puzzling.

 

he is running about 2-3/10's faster then i'am right now, since the last time I checked at the track the truck weighed in at 4320 and went 12.80 at 104.9? it was also 88* outside too, since then I haven't had any tires to get times with, that will change on the 7th of sept. though hahaha.

Quik, you will be low 12's high 11's in cold weather and take the weight off, like I said before you know what it does on the street, now its time to get your fastest times in race form. good luck.

 

they said they were around 4100 race weight so just going off what they said and yes trust me i should be about a half second faster. i might even be a few more lbs on top of what i think im at. i havent weight the truck in years and when i did i was 4500 and that was before the leather, wheels, skirts, system. i know the gearing is hurting some right now which will be taken care of soon. could also be im running mac midlenghts and not full headers dunno, maybe my exhaust is restricting me some. the headers are 1 3/4 but on the inside they are only 1 5/8s since there is alot of weld along the flange. i didnt know that before iput them on and since then learned that most ppl port them to help with flow

as for the black smoke its really ******* pissing me off. ive tried different tunes and all the same results. black smoke

 

thanks and yea im going on a diet for next week, just pisses me off some cause of some smoking issues im having and still testing out different results for the 60's.


as for race trim what are you and blue doing for reduction? i know my leather isnt as light as my stock seats and no where near the weight of a base interior seats

 

This is one of those situations where I am going to say bigger is not always better. This is just IMO. This setup in a car would be perfect, but in a heavy truck its just too much, like i said its just IMO.

 

se you could be wrong on your opinion also. look at the elevations im racing at compared to some of you. that will play a huge rule in differences between ppl's times. i know if i go to ATCO its about 3/10s faster then the track im at now or if i go to QCR its about 2/10s slower then PRP this is why some ppl calculate their times. if i did that my times would be about 12.4 full weight but i go by what slips i get and no a correction figure.

and im still working out bugs as in what gears i need. in a roll i do pretty well. ran a C6 on way back from the track 3 times and each time i would put lenghts on him. ran a buddy's SSS that runs 12.6 consistant and i put lenghts on him again

just figuring out i need gearing might solve some of my issues, so only time will tell what is going on

 

good luck with the set up
you'll get there, it just takes some time and learning different combo's that work

 

We walked my buddies H/C/I modded F-body from mid 12s to an 11.9 in one night of true testing and tuning... Mainly messing with shift points and A/F and timing out of the hole. So yea, keep playing around with the tune and tweaking this or that and you'll be where you want.
