Well guys I dont know if you knew my truck was down but its been about a year since it was running. My 4l80e let go on me and I finally sent it down to Transformance for the build. I got the tranny in the middle of last week and had it running thursday. It sure feels good to be driving it again. Well a buddy of mine has a Real fast Wrx STI. It made 36X on a mustang type dyno. So thats probley close to 400awhp on a Dynojet. I figured he would be a good race. We made a trip down to mexico and had a couple runs. hehe. We made about three runs. The truck is alittle laggy but absolutly blows the tires off when the turbos spool. I lost traction on every run with a set GTII 285/60/16. The first run I feel way way back but still managed to gain my ground and come by him with no problem. The second run was beter and the third run was the best. I decided to put it in second on the third run so that the rpms where up. I hoping he posts that video because I didnt lose much ground from the hit. Anyway this WRX is wicked fast and runs the 1/4 in the 12's. Here's the thread with a video of the first run where I blew the tires off, had to let out of it then get back in it. The truck catchs back up and comes bye with ease. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...=1#post8593004

 

Got to love when truck catches, passes and says bye bye to a sports car. Congrads, did you play with any from a stand still.?

 

Congrats man!! I had Transformance build my 4L80E as well, been very happy with it. Jim is a great guy to work with I bet it feels good to be in the driver's seat again

 

Glad its up and running Justin. How much boost you making on those runs?

 

Yeah it was definatly pulling hard once I got hooked up. Where probley going to go from a dig. I have some ET steets but then again he pulls 1.7 60''s. I should be able to pull a 1.8-1.9 60' so I should really put some lengths in between us then.

Yeah Jim is a really cool guy. It does fill good to be driving the truck again!

I was running 12-13 pounds on these runs. Pretty much the same amount that I ran my 12.06@121 except with zero traction. Ill tell you what. Traction doesn't seem that important intill you cant get any when you racing another car.

 

Nice work, looks like it runs awesome!

 

Good to see you back. I am glad the truck runs again, looks like it runs hard too.

 

congrats on having it back up and running Justin...
you living in NC now? out of school right?

 

DAMN!!! i can't believe how fast you closed that gap and flew by him! nice work! any pics of your set up?

 

Thanks... Yeah once I got traction it took off! I think where going to go another round this weekend and I'll be ready this time! I'll get some pictures up tomorrow. I just got some new wheels so I guess its time for some new pics.
