Default took the ss to the track today

I was hoping for 10s but was unsuccessful. The truck made 3 11.08 passes and one 11.09. Traction became an issue and I also was unable to turn the boost up anymore with the way my controller is set up and the spring that is in the gate. I am still happy this is a pb and hopefully 10s will be had this year with a few changes.

Thanks Tim, 10s would have been had but I cannot get rid of the boost spike on the shifts with the wastegate in the crossover. I was talking to TJ and I think I am going to move it directly under the turbo, also I am going to strap the front and hopefully I can get there.

TJ won't steer ya wrong ! He's only been building /tuning that twin LSx 63' impala that runs low 6s , so he might have forgot a little when it comes to us slow 11sec guys LOL

Yeah I'm sure strapping the front end will help as well as weight reduction if ya have anything left to pull lol

Good luck it will happen !

BTW what track ya close to ? Milan ? I'm coming up soon to have TJ tweak my tune and would be cool to make a pass or two while I'm up there .

I don't have the time slip in front of me but the truck went a 1.64 60 ft, I rant at Stanton this time because they are really relaxed on tech. If you wanted to make a pass Tim US 131 motorsports park would be the best, I go there occasionally as well. Let me know when you come up I would love to check your truck out.
