What's more impressive 10.2@127 or 10.5@130? Everyone does things in their own way I was just curious why he hasnt used slicks.

Yeah im just working with my setup now, im gonna dial it in on radials so i can still tune it on the street, if i get it in the 1.50 with radials the slicks would be insane.... Custom2500 im going air to water intercooling then ill bump it up to 18#'s for those 9's, i take it pretty slow as u can tell and the only reason is because i dont wanna look back after blowing a motor and say i wish i would have taken it slower to learn a little more, im overall pleased with it and very excited about how the front suspension helped this weekend.... I think i can hit these radials alot harder than what i am now so we will see.. Thanks for all the compliments! Im just another happy pnet member, wouldnt be able to do all this without u guys helpfull information and words of wisdom!

Yea no rush for 9s because once you make that goal what is next. Enjoying it or massive amounts of money to go faster.

At mid 10s I would be grinning ear to ear 24-7. Not only does your truck look killer it also performs beyond expectation.

u can hook just fine on a DR and feel much more stable down the track. On the same tire and size tire ryan is running caseys lightning gets 1.2-1.3 60' running 8'S with basically same suspension as ryan it just takes time to diel it in and a boost controller helps! saying i run 9's on street tires sound much better then running 9's on a slick
