Default New track times! And some fun on the way home.

Best run of the night was the first one, somewhere around 95*

RT -.012 (oops)
60' 2.089
330 5.815
1/8 8.908
MPH 80.30
1000' 11.562
1/4 13.860
MPH 97.95

I then proceeded to run a 14.13, 14.10, and a 14.01 after. I don't know what the deal was, it was cooler every time but I couldn't hit 13's again. Oh well....next time I'll have some meth and that should keep me consistently in the 13's I hope.


And....got a nice open stretch of freeway at 3:30am. Let off when I started to come up on some cars. I think this is a new record for me.

Nice numbers! Did you leave in 2wd, or 4wd? I've found that with street tires, leaving in 4hi, then hitting the button to 2hi asap is the best way to go. Can't leave in 2wd with street tires at all, smoke city! I'd like to get you thoughts on that cam, too.

I do exactly what you said...launch in 4 hi then hit the 2hi button right away. I like the cam, it is great down low but I feel a little lacking top end, or maybe that's just how a truck is. I'm very happy with it overall.

I posted in the FTL thread too to get my title updated. I thought the 13's would be more satisfying though...now I want 12's.

i have a log from a customers Silverado SS i was working on that would be a nice screenshot. 136mph was where i let up. the IAT's had made it to about 160 or so.

What do you think the top speed is for these trucks? I know it won't shift into 4th at WOT, and there's only a few hundred RMP left from where I was....I am guessing maybe 140-145 at the limiter in 3rd?

It looks like you were running a little lean there too, O2 readings in the LOW 800's. Timing is 6, I wonder what you IAT correction table is set at, just curious that seems like a lot of timing being pulled. Better safe then sorry I quess. 132 Cool man, I never thought of using HP for that I might have to keep that in mind. I would like to know how fast mine will go.
