it was a nice drop in time, but hell, I was being really conservative with it off the line. I really wish I could have found out what it was capable of in warm weather. I have to say, I'm somewhat pleased with the time considering the circumstances though

...I didn't get a ticket either for the rain-out either, but I'll let them know next time.

There's a reason I didn't post it

I ran with Kevin's exhaust manifolds in the bed, Beau's muffler behind the seat, a cooler full of beer/water/ice and a light foot off the line....and of course full street trim. I was trying to get a pass in before the rain moved in, so I pulled directly off the street into the staging lane.
14.41 @ 94.44mph with a 2.1 60'
I was a little dissapointed, but I think just putting some more foot into it would have helped

my thoughts exactly

I was pretty easy on it I guess, I stalled to about 900rpm and held about 3/4 throttle for the first 20' or so. I was trying to get a feel for how it would hook off the line....too bad I couldn't get another pass on it. I think I could have been more aggressive on the launch

.....keep in mind, I'm racing on my 20's with 31" tall tires. I would LOVE to see what it would do with some lighter rims and ET streets

Nice meetin you guys out there. Too bad it rained out blah...I didn't even get to run the stocker. Oh well, we'll have to reschedule...and by then maybe I'll actually have something done to the truck lol.

Well I had a good time while it lasted I just wish I could have run a few more times. The 12.8 first run was the best of the 3 and I am spinny just a tad but I know the 29" tall slick are to big for the 3.73 gears. I need to get with allen on a few things and I also need a way to do some data logging. I will be putting on the 28 " tall tires next time.
