all these threads about really fast trucks and cars, i can believe them going that fast but i dont believe they would go that fast anywhere else. All the RGV guys on here yall are in the best place for a track to be. Keep em goin guys we all might should race over there.
I have ran in Edinburg with 2 of my trucks and they both ran quicker in Washington. My 99 ecsb ran a 14.99 in WA then a 15.39 in Edinburg 2 months later. My SS ran a 14.02 here in WA then a 14.39 in Edinburg the same year then came back to WA and ran a 13.86.
Back when Joejoe was running a 12.3X here in WA he ran a 12.57 in Edinburg.
Whoopassracer went 12.79 in WA and I believe his best time after adding the GT2-3 cam in Edinburg is a 13.2X.
There are another 2 or 3 trucks that have had the same results as me. I can only think of one of my buddies that went 14.89 in Edinburg and that exact same 14.89 here in WA.

I have a theory about this...
Because he is on a bolt on 5 cylinder w/4L60E and stock stall, the truck is a bit lacking in the torque department to get off the line with.
But when hit with the 100 shot, the truck comes off the line very well because of the extra torque. I think he picked up .5 in his 60 ft alone. Given that then you can see how the combination of the launch and 100 shot could provide the great reduction in 1/4 mile time.

Wow didn't even know this thread was here about my truck. Yes that is my truck and like I said in the other forum my truck's best N/A time was a 14.4 with a 2.1 60" but remember this was with the nitrou's tune and 2 degree colder plugs. If you think about it I can probably go low 14's with just the normal plugs and my street tune. Honest awnser do you actually think that my little 5 cylinder can hold a 150 shot. Before you go off and start saying maybe it's a 125 shot I got me a TNT F2 kit which the jetting only goes by 100, 150, 200, 250, and so on.

I think its very possible. buddy of mine has VR6 VW GTI . before he did the turbo he was just on the spray. ran a mid to low 16 N/A on a 75 shot ran consistent low 14's his race weight is like 2900 lbs. so I think you truck on 100 shot should drop 2 sec. no problem.
