Default Well.... I finally took her to the track.

We GPS'd the track. 4,058FT above Sea Level. Temp was around 68F. No tire spin. Just 3.42's and no power explains the 60ft times.

First run
R/T : .098
60FT : 2.648
1/8 ET : 11.019
1/8 MPH : 66.069
1/4 ET : 16.869
1/4 MPH : 85.147

Best run with the girlfriend riding along as well. I decided on trying a 4lo run. Very surprising results.

R/T : .185
60FT : 2.367
1/8 ET : 10.329
1/8 MPH : 68.453
1/4 ET : 16.058
1/4 MPH : 85.549

Hit 6k in overdrive as I trapped. Made 2 runs in 4lo. I now know what nitrous feels like. lol

3.42's suck.

You ran the whole 1/4 in "4 wheel drive low range"?

As soon as he adds some more power he will have to run in 2hi cause he will be topping out 4lo.

Holy crap, I cant believe you got to 85. I thought 4lo was only good up to 35mph or so?
