after geting shot down at the local 1/4mile strip due to to "cold" of weather i found out a diferent 1/8th mile strip was going to be open for street racing that night. they even handed out slips for the first 2 hours.

1.754 60'
4.921 330'
7.643 @ 89.56 1/8th <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

using those numbers at prestage that calculates out to an 11.99. that was 8psi and a 35shot and i had ~75more lbs that i can drop. so at prestage drop 75lbs and add 20rwhp(adjust to a 50shot) and that puts me at an 11.79. it may not work out like that but thats what the math sugests, i think the truck is a little stronger in the first 1/8th before the wind resistance kickes in.

gtech report!! a little disapointed, for the 60' time it was never more than .02 off, for the 1/8th it was as much as .11 off, in fact it was exactly .11 off all 3 times i used it.

might have some video later, have to see if there is anything worth showing. tranny is holding strong so far. oh yea!!! gtech showed a 3.29 0-60mph <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Nice job! Did you buy a complete tranny from FLP and send your core, or did you send yours to be built? How much was it? What was included in your rebuild?
I'm impressed that its holding up to those times!!

i got the flp level IV tranny with 5pinion spragues, seems like it was $2100 for everything including shipping. not 100% sure what all parts they put in there but i know NOTHING about trannys so i would be talking out my *** if i started listing parts. call chuck and he will answer all your question, he is a real nice guy.

Cool, Thats cooking! I'm glad that all the time, money, and effort you put in is finally paying off. 7.64 is super. I can hardly believe it.
