Hey it was great to meet you guys today and see this truck in person. It was truely a piece of fine work!

 

Thanks, it was great to meet up with everyone too. We look forward to the next get together, I hope to be a little more rested at the next meet.

 

We were able to do some shake down runs with Hank's SSR at SpeedWorld on Saturday. This SSr is a 6 Speed and is proving to be a little hard to become consistent with. Like stated these are shake down runs at just 10psi of boost. We found a few more things to spend money on. The Upper Control Arms for the rear axle were bending on launches and unloading the rear suspension. The tires were actually moving 2.5" forward in the wheel wells during the launch and shifts. We also need a line lock to hold the SSR still long enough to be able to heat the rear tires up for the starting line. Hank will scan the time slips for these runs so I can add them to the post.

It is a 2005 SSR 6 Speed with a 427 LS2 and the MP122HH MagnaCharger at 10 PSI of Boost.

11.7 Run


11.8 Run


11.9 Run

 

It was great meeting you guys the SSR looks great and runs even better.

 

Gawd that thing is a beast!

 

WOW!that thing ROCKS! Can't wait to see when you really get to whale on it!

Double fisted grip on that one for sure.

 

We were seeing some good 1.70's in the 60 ft, I hope to get it a little better when we can launch it harder.

The ride down the 1/4 is alot more involved with the 6 speed. Hank did a great job driving it. I think the new control arms, line lock and a shift light and we can get it alot more consistent.

 

Looks like it was launching pretty good. What was the mph on the runs?

 

The 60ft was in the 1.7's and the MPH were around 119.5. We need to do the rear control arms, shift light and line locks for the next runs.
