Are you running out of gear because you are spinning or because of the ratio? What is your gear ratio?

 

I don't remember betting with you but since I won I'll agree with it

I really wish you had run a lot better, I'd like to see you wrinkle out a few things and give me a run

and don't forget who held the flashlight!!

 

I swapped out my 4.10's for 3.42's last Tuesday. When I tried changing the tune HPT said I wasn't licensed for my own truck even though I used to be!
Talked to Rick and he thinks I need to contact HPT and get them to upgrade my account to a 3 bar style. Right now I'm going down the track and my truck thinks it's running with 4.10's and it's shifting the truck accordingly. With 4.10's I shift out of 3rd @105mph. With 3.42's I should be shifting into 4th at around 120mph or so.
Under WOT I can't shift into 4th so in I either just coast the last 200 feet (those runs I trapped at 105-106mph) or go half throttle at the top of 3rd to let it shift into 4th. Looking at my logs it takes 1.5 seconds to do that transition (when I do however I trap 110mph).
Problem with that, other than the time it takes to shift into 4th is I loose boost.
I just noticed in my logs that I was in full boost for only 4.5 seconds of my run...

 

Ah, that sucks. Hopefully you can iron everything out. I would think with a solid tune and traction, 11's are easily within reach.

 

Funny enough traction has never been my problem...even putting down 7xx ft/lb of torque on 265's...

 

nice video! get you **** straighten out spoolin and go back to the track im sure you are going to have some very nice e/t and mph when it gets worked out...

 

Julien all I know is that thing runs hard on the top end. The last pass we made I looked back and I was way ahead of you and I looked back a fraction of a second later and you had closed the gap. Once you get your truck running right look out!

 

enjoyed the videos, but who ever edited them cut the videos the exact moment the times of the runs came up, making it difficult to see what the times were.

 

noted, next time i'll hold the camera at the times for a bit longer.

The computer automatically cuts the videos into section based on when you started and stopped recording.

 

That last race was kinda fun! I had 4 people in the truck and you had 3 people in yours didn't you? I cut a 14.4 @ 106mph and you cut a 14.9 @ 97mph or something right? All I know is you tree'd the **** out of me and I couldn't get you at the beams! That was pretty fun.
Looked over my logs again tonight and noticed that I was having problems shifting into 3rd...not 4th.
I'm all screwed up!!
