it was pretty sick cause 90% of the people up there couldn't believe his truck was that quick

 

That's why we LOVE trucks ! LS POWAH trucks to be exact !!! Everything else is SLOW !!!!

 

Congrats on the 11's. How did the meth kit feel last night?

 

11's!!! We need a vid!

So, NOW how are you liking that Yank?

 

Thanks Kurt. I was really glad you made it up. Scott_A also made the treck... great to have you both there.

Thanks Tim. Couldnt have done it without your help along the way!

Felt Awesome. I still think I get a slight surge from the BR7 plugs... I really want to try some 6's. When it kicks on its seemless, but sometimes it still boggs slightly. There is no timing being pulled either.

Thanks Roger. The video will be coming soon. Take a look at this time slip. I spun off the line pretty bad... You guys can be the judge, but in my humble opinion there is a lot left. With even better weather and a solid hook off the line I see some time left in this run.

The yank seems to be doing OK... I have a few concerns with it to be honest, but so far its performing great.

Now for the pics!!!

The time slip!


The scale reading without me in the truck. I weigh just over 200 lbs


The HP calculator on the drag times app... take it for what its worth.

 

Our trucks would make for a good race as they sit right now. What are your goals for the truck now?

 

I think I can shave a little bit as it sits. There is also some left in the tune and just a little bit of timing, i need to figure out traction off the line and that will make a big difference as well. I have front suspension limit straps waiting to be installed. It's really hard to estimate what my time will end up being... I just know I will grab a little MPH with cooler weather and less wait time letting everything heat soak the way it did this past Friday.

I may also end up giving converter lock out a whirl if I'm close enough to a target time. It just abuses things so much for what seems like minimal gains... not sure its worth it. I'm not exactly made of money lol.

 

When you say "giving converter lockout a try" , do you mean locking the converter at WOT or locking out the possibility of lock up at WOT? See the confusion?
Awesome runs man! I witnessed the 11.99 run from over my shoulder at the concession stand. It was last call and two for one hamburgers. The sound was unmistakably your truck on a solid pass.

 

The vid was good! Pretty strong for a chubby girl.. We need to get the evil twins together for a play date next spring... I'm thinking Bowling Green? Thoughts?

 

Haha I do see the confusion. I meant locking WOT. I shift into 3rd at 90 almost on the nose and I may lock it at 100 in 3rd WOT. I bet I grab a MPH. I know its such a small difference in time, but like I said I may try it if I'm close enough!! Plus who doesnt love to see a time slip with another MPH on it... all the HP calculators base it on MPH




I love it!! The exhaust is pretty intense, isnt it?? It definitely has that "corsa pitch", just amplified big time with power I'm making and 4" pipe.

I'm really glad you made it out Scott. Thanks for coming.


I'm open to something like that... but if we're gonna do it its gotta be a GREAT track with GREAT weather LOL. I bet we could pick up a few stragglers along the way too...
