Awesome. Just a little wheelspin even with TC off.

Two 14.2s

 

With the shorter tires it's like a shorter gear.

Before I was going thru the lights at the top of 3rd gear. Now it's shifting to 4th well before the lights. I think that's what's killed my mph.

Rear shocks were set to 0/12. Just a little preload on the Caltracs.

 

Done.

14.239 was my best. 1.991 60'. Banging on the rev limiter in 3rd thru the lights for a 95.03mph. That was my first run.

Second run was my highest speed; 14.257, 1.999 60', 97.45mph.

14.354 @ 97.06
14.403 @ 96.82
14.354 @ 96.93

So that's my truck stock. Time to get my BlackBear tune installed.

 

Ride quality: these tires ride much more comfortably than the Yokohama's I pulled off. I also have the rear shocks set to 3/5.

 

Well, the Blackbear tune was good for about .1 and 3mph. Best were 14.254 and 99.5 mph. Very consistent in the 14.2 & 99mph range. I guess there isn't much there tuning when you're running E85.

Biggest disappoint is I'm still only hitting 1.9 60' times. DRs, Caltracs & DA shocks, I would hope I was at least .1 -.2 better. It definitely does't like me loading up the stock converter even a little. We did notice that even with the shocks set at 0 compression, the rear was very stiff with the preload I had on the Caltracs; loosening them up didn't help tho.

So, I'm a little lost in were to go next in getting better 60' times. Any ideas?

 

That stock convertor is killing you. I think Noah Burns has a 3k in his and says it changed the whole truck.

 

are you running E85 at the track?

 

Yes. Other than the original tank of gas when delivered, I've run nothing but E85. I have a pump two blocks from my house.

 

I got an updated tune from Justin. Tweaking on the E85 tables & a fix for the horrible 1-2 shift.

It doesn't look like there's an opportunity to get back out to Ennis til 10/25. I guess my next shot at 13s will have to wait till then.
Or maybe I could enter the Fall Nationals.

 

Buy a converter in the meantime.
