I have no clue what mine runs. The Ls1 is 2-3 months old. I just hope to not break anything this time. Last time I broke my drive shaft....long night to say the least. I hope to click off a 12.xx n/a and 10's later with a small shot. I got a lot of tuning to do before the nitrous times come.
O cool, you know Randy. I am glad he finally ditched the light bar lol

Sweet, hope it all comes together for ya. Should be a fun season for the both of us.

Will be fun to see Erics truck out running strong again if he can make it... it wasnt quite 100% for our PT meet.

I saw you (^) at Crandall a couple times this summer running those mid 13s all day, you ran that truck into the ground hot lapping. Was very consistent though Hated how small of a tire you were running on it though for track setup, it was just fugly. I bet the slicks will be much fatter

I'm also hoping to not be the slowest thing there this time! 17.2 was god awful, even with the crummy DA, and my 60' is a second more than I would really like.


Garrett if you really feel like you need the ride I will be able to get you and take you... out of school at 2:30

haha, yep that was me. I was beatin the life out of it but having the time of my life. Have only been to the track three times in anything lol

It can take a beating and still run pretty well. Yeah I know the tires are small but its less rotational mass haha The slicks I will be running are just a hair bigger then the previous radials. But I am right there with ya it looks ridiculously stupid, hell if it works though!

I can't place which truck was yours... what color was it?

Probably from all those hard passes!
I was hoping to get some headers in this week but ended up not getting enough money -.- so I'm trying to figure out how to make due with what I have. Not sure if I want LTs or to lower it first.

Haha I vote baseline times Garrett! Want to see how it runs stock. You looking for LS1 fans like I picked up or truck fans that require the bigger radiator? I think I saw some ls1 fans for 100 yesterday....
