Only nitrous cars get flames

Yep still 4wd. 2wd would just blow the tires off even with slicks.

So what is your peak boost? Really awesome your running standard bolt heads with a ton of boost with no lifting issues and your definitely not easy on it. Good job man.

Ive hit 30+ before by accident. Usually spikes up to 27 or so

Remember, mass flow makes power, not boost

That launch looks pretty rough the first 60' but smooth sailing after that. Nice work.

Still impressive. This is why your truck is one of my favorites on this site.

so how did the truck handle on the big end with those slicks aired down? Did it dance around?

Nope perfectly fine and straight, which is why I feel confident in going to 15psi or a bit lower in the tires next time. 1/4 mile top end might be sketchier when going 140ish vs 115ish. I was even expecting some side thrusting from the exhaust but that wasnt a factor either.

It took me about a dozen track days to figure out the sweet spot for my hoosiers. once you get to a good contact patch then you start adding or letting out .5 psi.

Truck looks nasty with the fender and slicks.
