Default very good times

I put on the 16s and pulled everything I could off the truck and had less than 1/4 tank of fuel. The tailgate, spare, back seat, jack, tire tool, floor mats, etc... were all gone. When I finished piling it up, it looked the Beverly Hillbillies had moved in. The truck weighed 4700 with me in it (I weigh 200 lbs or so). Here are the times:

R/T = .211 secs
60' = 2.066 secs
1/8 = 8.958 secs @ 79.02 mph
1/4 = 13.985 @ 97.75 mph

This was with 26 psi of air in the M/T drag radials. I ran 2 tenths slower with 20 psi in them. Go figure. I tested this a couple of time, before I believed what I was seeing. I must be getting good traction at 26 psi. Next time I may go to 28 psi and see what happens.
awesome et's,i haven't broke into the 13's yet, i'm going this weekend for the first time since i've changed my stock muffler to a magnaflow,curious to see if it helped!! i still haven't reduced any weight except the tailgate and m/t et streets 26-16's also with 20's up front 14.05 @ 96.14

Take that spare tire off. It is heavy. I also had more luck with higher air pressure (26 psi) in the tires, but that may have been more track related than anything. Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks guys. My next goal is to run 13s on my 20s. I am looking at headers next and then a stall. That should have me close. I believe I can run 14.4s in good weather on the 20s now, so we shall see.

I have no doubt you can. My best is 14.409 on 20's, pump gas and full weight. Gonna have to pull the spare, jack, back seat...and see what that gets. Only made it to a 1/4 mile track one time and got 3 runs in, best 1000ft. time was 12.055. I have made it to a local 1000ft. track since then and ran an 11.98, only difference was removal of passenger side headlight (still running factory airbox w/holes cut in bottom and stock tube).
