I had a great night, man I love those General tires, they hooked great!!
I need new tires before the end of the month anyways, so I was doing big smokey burnouts

And a new best time

R/T.............. .666
60'............... 2.207
330.............. 6.228
1/8.............. 9.517
MPH............. 75.18
1000............ 12.335
1/4............. 14.744
MPH............. 93.16

 

I'd hope i have at least a 14.5 in this thing with traction, maybe faster with nice air.. I wish i lived closer so i could learn how to launch this thing, i did some fooling around on the street today, my times are definatly representative of my tires... they dont' get warm and sticky, they just get greasy when they get hot. I can't even get them to throw any rubber in the wheelwells after a 30 second burnout...... they work great when cold though. After you do a burnout.... your traction for the entire day is screwed, gotta put some miles on it, before they'll hook again. I find this rather weird, does it have something to do with 40 series low profile z rated tires? or just the brand? who knows.... but i want som bfg drag radials for next time.

 

Z rated tires are a very hard compound; to withstand high-speed down the highway. I have the same problem with my Pirelli Pzero's on the Z06. They spin and jump but won't really hook up. You need to pick up a cheap set of BFG's that are softer and you'll grab better.

Steve: good time man. I think the .666 R/T is pretty funny! That should be your "name" here ".666"

 

Yeah as soon as I saw that .666 R/T as I left the line I knew is was gonna be good, and to top it off it was up against a Dodge 1500 hemi, and yeah I won.

It was an awesome night!!!

 

i can't believe you guys are running in the 14's NA. impressive.

 

I ran 15.22 stock.
joshluther ran in the 14's stock!!!

 

ever dyno it? mine only made 222rwhp stock. 372rwhp on 8lbs boost last year without the inline fuel pump and some other stuff. Hoping to be over 400 now. I need to learn how to launch in 2wd. someone teach me. oh, and i can't go to ned this week either, have the baby wed night and have to work till 9 friday. Come take my truck so i'll at least have a timeslip.

 

From my time, speed and wieght in the 1/4 mi. I have between 284 and 290 at the wheels. NOT a dyno, just a calculator. and I had around 265 stock.

 

Someone clue me in, WTF does "NA", stand for?

Don, we can arrange to take your truck to the track for you...

 

NA=normally aspirated (no blower or turbo)

If someone wants to take my truck you can. Can't imagine you could do anything worse to it at the track than I do on a daily basis.
