Default On my quest for 11s...

This past friday I managed to get a few passes in some good air since the h/c install back in late september. I just got the truck back tuesday from beeing in the shop since Nov 5 for a minor accident that turned into a major ordeal. Anyway, temp was in the low 50-high 40s, ~45-50% humidity and a 15mph headwind. The track was open for a 'cruise in' which is basicy a test-n-tune night and the were not prepping the track (which was ultimately my downfall at the end of the evening). Here is how it went down...

First pass on motor (forgot to remove tailgate/dead hook on et streets@20psi)
1.87 60'
8.43@80.88 1/8
13.30@101.90 1/4


Second pass on N2O (forgot my heater and only had 800psi/rear was bouncing from gaining\loosing traction first 60')
1.77 60'
7.85@85.99 1/8
12.43@107.89 1/4


Third pass on motor (tailgate removed/dead hook)
1.87 60'
8.40@81.46 1/8
13.28@101.17 1/4


Fourth pass on N2O (borrowed a heater and had 1000psi\spun pretty bad first 15' or so then hooked and went. Felt really good!)
1.79 60'
7.78@89.34 1/8
12.19@111.33 1/4


Overall I am pretty happy with the trucks performance. Now I just need some better air, no head wind, a prepped track and a little less air in the ET Streets and I think I may just get it. If that dont get it... time for a new jet!

What cam did you go with if it isnt . Did you have the heads done or buy some? Are you still running the dry shot or have you gone to a wet shot?

so without the headwind, what is the et looking like, in the 11's? i know you spun on the last one. lets say you solve that problem, you were in the 11's no doubt. i only got to see you run once and that was against that L.

Sweet runs, Kenny! You'll jack them 11s in no time! Everytime I come down there, you guys are always getting faster.

John, the meet still planned for the 30th? Keep me updated, because I hope to have my little "suprise" by then.

Good job man!!!

Damn you nitrous abusers!!!! :p

I hate that though. So close yet still not the time you wanted. I did that in the T/A. I ran 12.0s all night N/A with 1.60 60's. Hit the nitrous and I just coulnd't hook at all. I would shake/spin to a 1.76 60' and a couple 11.12 ETs.. So damn close to a 10 it made me sick. LOL
