Just got back from the track....what a joke

I ran better times with my 5.3 due to lack of traction....but I did trap 6mph higher. Using a generic formula based on trap and weight I am putting slightly more than 600 to the ground. I drove 30 minutes there and got straight in line, still had my tools in the back and all.

This was with 7lbs of boost and 20 degrees of timing on 93 pump gas. Zero issues with knock or detonation.

I tried a 4wd launch and almost ate the wall, so screw that mess.

heres the video, no laughing at my driving skills

Sucks you had to let out of it

Can't see vid at work, what were the times?

Nice job man, you should feel proud and good deal of accomplishment completing this project. Looking forward to more updates.

 

Get to working on your 4WD launches! That thing should be way faster than my truck...

 

What size drag slicks do you guys recommend? I have 4.56 gears so I was thinking in the 30" range, but how wide?

 

Your truck look just like mine.

 

custom dent on the back passenger door and all?

 

10.5 or 11.5 bias cheater slick will do you fine. 28/11.5-16 is what I am running and love it. Dead hooks on the street and strip at 18 psi. I plan to add air till it starts to spin but I havn't yet.
