Default track tomorrow

well? what do you all think?

i am not going to strip it down so i will probably be 200-300lb's heavier than when i ran my best run before. added roll bar, hitch, sway bar, passenger seat, gate.

added the 4 nittos and will be adding up to 200hp from my best run before. on my best run i only cut a 1.78 60', i am going to try and knock .2 off of that.

will the motor take it? will the driveline come apart? will it run 9's?

i will need quite a few runs to dial it in so if they are packed i might not have time to dial it in and make my best run.

Too bad you can't come to our private track day in Fontana on September 23rd....I'd give up my spot just to see your truck run. For these private events there are 80 vehicles only and you can get as many runs in as you want....12-15, or more if you want.

You sure you don't want to come visit us? You could stop in at CMS in Vegas on the way over...

I think with the added traction on all 4 you could see a 1.5 or lower 60'. I believe in ya from the last setup it definately looks good for a 9 sec pass as long as nothing breaks, my money is on the rear end or front diff going though especially if you start cutting consistent 1.5ish 60's

good luck man cant wait to see the vid

are you gonna do a 2wd burnout before staging? wonder how your gonna get the fronts heated
