Default First timeslip with the 6.0L

60'.................1.82
1/8 ET............8.26
1/8 MPH..........82.87
1/4 ET............13.04
1/4 MPH..........102.69


I guess not bad. Track conditions were great, and I dead hooked (could def. use another 500-1000rpms in stall speed). Another thing this was done with only 24* of timing because of nitrous. I had the HSW nitrous controller installed but never used it or made a nitrous pass because I didn't get to get a new tune. So this was all on a safe nitrous tune for a 150 shot.

Next time out I hope to knock out consistent 12s on motor and 11s on bottle...

not bad at all for the first time out with the 6.0. I agree with you, your 60' does seem a little higher than it should, whats your converter stall speed and what gears?

2800 RPM 9" Fuddle
4.10s Powertrax locker
28x10.50x15 MT slicks on a 15x10 wheel


I heated them up pretty well and got a great launch but I just need more stall. I'm not well off enough to do something about it now though, it'll just stay under my tab of "regrets I didn't go bigger"...

ya but how many times are you at the track as opposed to driving it out on the street. 3600+ is great for at the track but street friendly... lol not really. i went 4k cause a 3k imo was very streetable... now i regret it that im gonna be driving my truck everyday lol

Yeah, I hear you there...

It's alright though because I think it'll cut deep into the 1.7s with the nitrous off the line...

great times for first time out, but you found your problem, not enough stall and low timing, you should be in the 11's on the nitrous with your current setup though...
get you a motor tune and go back and see what it does...
