Default My very slow truck

kinda bored, so i thought i'd post these.


running like complete ***. A mix of bad driver, worn clutch, no traction, and low power made for some pretty pathetic runs.

This was my best run of that day....and it was slower then a 4cyl 5spd on heavy 18s:

one of my worse runs:

Traction is so bad that the civic gains on me shortly after the launch and then loses that gain when i stick in 2nd gear:


One more of the slow truck, the worst run of that night:


And lastly, a very curious truck from that night. He trailered this obs ext. to the track, it had wide mickey thompson radials, skinnies up front, and ran relatively slow.

i think it averaged low 16s all night.


So thats the starting point for my truck, i'll post another video when i get the 4:10s and drag radials.

Its got intake, exhaust, and a simple hptuners tune....oh yeah and nearly bald maxxis tires(maxxis street tires suck btw, even though their atv tires are great)


From here i could add 4:10s, possible a lightweight 1piece driveshaft, and port put on a ported head. Aside from adding nitrous or a remote mount turbo.
