Y2Ksilverado, I gotta agree some with hyperlite on the 0-60 times. My SLOWEST 1/4 so far is a 14.8 and the few times I tried the stopwatch thing I kept comming up with 6.5-6.7. Of course I had a little tire spin though, but not much.
We'll, I'm not tring to fool any one in here, but that's what the stop watch says. Maybe my technique is flawed, I hit the watch when my foot hits the gas and hit the watch when the speedo hits 60. I've used two different stop watches too, my wrist watch stop watch and a plain old stop watch. Here's the calculator I used and here's my 1/8 mile speed and time when I ran my best of 14.853 @ 92.143 that's in my sig.. 1/8 mile specs on that run, 9.546 @ 74.243, go to the site on the link and punch in those numbers for yourself.

Thats a cool calculater. Im not saying you full of it, I may not have been very good with the stopwatch acording to that calc. I put in my 1/8 time and mph (9.400@75.6) and it says my 0-60 is 5.92 seconds. If thats true, I cant wait till I install the 3000 stall, headers, and cutouts. I wonder how much it will drop then.

Truthfully, I did wonder how close I really was until I found that website, at least now I know I'm in the ball park. Also here's a copy of what I posted were my corrected times in 104* heat. FL8PONY said we were basically running at 3000 feet because of the heat and DA (Density Altitude). I don't know if the corrected time are actually true but it would be nice.

"I did the corrections and I don't know if they're true but here's what the times corrected to. Base on the 3000 foot conversion number for ET and speed, this is what the times MAY have been.

Best run: 15.02 @ 91.33 converted to 14.47 @ 94.80 mph
worst run: 15.33 @ 90.49 converted to 14.77 @ 93.94 mph

The 3000 foot conversion was multiply the ET by .964 and the speed by 1.0381 to get the corrected times. I don't know if I believe it or not but I just wanted to see."

That's from a post I did in the truck lounge.

Parish8, YOUR THE MAN! Seriously 3.19? Y2Ksilverado, A 14.47 may be very possible in the right weather. My 14.7 run was in mid 90 degree weather and sticky humid. All the people I talked to that night said they were running .2-.3 slower than usuall. That was my first and only night at Gainesville. I was so dissapointed I came home and started ordering more power adders. Hopefully with these mods I will run some high 13s. If I do, I wonder if I'll be the first ext. cab all motor to hit 13s.
