Default Got into the 12s....

Not a huge accomplishment by any means but I'm still pretty happy...
I was surprised that at the track my converter only flashed to about 2500rpms, on the street it seems to go up to about 3000, I guess I'm getting a little spin and don't know it.

I sprayed a 150 shot not quite out-of-the-hole but pretty damn close, bottle pressure was at about 1100 and the beginning of the run, and had a few gallons of C-16 mixed in with my 93 just to be safe...

This was also my first time racing on slicks, I'll never go to the track again w/o them. It's just too nice not having to worry about traction (well personally for me I know not everybody is dead hookin with slicks)...

I think my PCMforLess tune is holding me back, as soon as I get some spare time and money I need to head up to Houston and see Wheatley...


60'.................1.79
1/4 ET............12.85
1/4 MPH..........103.6



Also got a little cam I need to stick in, I want to get it tuned and head back to the track to see the difference then cam it and re-tune it and see the difference that makes.

I'd be happy with mid-low 12s after the tune, cam, and getting that nitrous flowing right outta the hole...

you have that 4.8 scootin! heck, tuning and weather might give you a 12.5 sitting the way you are right now.

Wow thats good for a 4.8! I am getting my cam soon, and I will probably add nitrous also, but a stall will come before nitrous. probably since my tranny is stock Ill get a 75 shot, what you guys think wet shot or dry shot?

Ya know, I really think so, the more I think about how my truck runs the more I don't like the tune I got... I can't wait to call Wheatley up

The cam I got prolly isn't a great one, but I think it'll do:
216/220----.563/.568 on a 112

Might be a little on the big side but oh well it's what I got beside me I'll see how she runs


And kdubz, my opinion is on the wet shot...

Do you have your short times for that run(i'm mainly wanting to see the 1/8th). That is a mean 60' and a heck of a run for a 4.8.
