Default Lotsofn, how is your truck so fast

I've looked at your posted mods,and I just dont get it. Every mod you listed, I have, and then some. What is your 1/8 mile time? So far my best 60' time is 2.018, and my 1/8 time is 9.040. I've never run the 1/4, but I know I'm nowhere near that fast. I'm running the 1/4 at Gainesville tommorow night, I just hope I dont embarace myself.

Come on now, there has to be a secret. Is your truck a base or base plus model? What kind of stuff are you stripping out before you race. My truck is an extended cab,and since I had the heads and intake done all my power is over 3500rpms. Before I race I take out the audio-vidio, spare tire, I even clean out the glove box. The back seat even comes out. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> I feel like I'm scrachin the bottom of the barrel.

It's a LS all power,I take the tailgate off(it fell off at the track before <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> )on my last trip to the track I pulled my passenger seat out(52 lbs)
"all my power is over 3500 rpm's"Sounds like to me a converter would wake your truck up.

Im trying to get a 3000 stall, but all my credit cards are already maxed out on the truck, j/k. Really Im trying to order it through the navy exchange, cuz they do price matches, and I dont have to pay tax on it.
Sorry to hear about the tail gate, that must have sucked.

You don't have a stall? I thought you had all his mods and then some? A stall would really wake it up. I am getting ASMs and a Yank 3200 as soon as I pay my new TV off, hopefully by the end of this year or beginning of next year. Hopefully I will see 13s as well, but I doubt it.

Hey snake, I'll be at Gainesville tonight too. Looks like I'll be seeing your taillights in the 1/4! I think you'll come out pretty happy with your 1/4 mile times there. I've never run the 1/8 mile here in town, but from what I hear they have a tough time keeping dirt off the track and traction sucks sometimes. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

And not to brag, but the '02 model 5.3's seem to be faster than other models. I'll bet that's helping lotsofun too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
