I think I'm still going to show up. I'm having problems too with my tuning and my meth kit just showed up today. I'm think I'm going to just get a base run to see where I'm at. Just going to run stock tune and stock pulley.

I ended up going. They closed the track around 6:30 ish because of the weather. They didn't even start the racing. I got there about 4:30 and got 2 time trials in. Track condition was 55 degrees and 73 humidity. There was also a huge head wind and for my brick it wasn't too good. I weighed my truck today and with me in it and 1/3 tank of gas it came out to be 5750 lbs. My truck needs to go on a diet. This was also my first time at a track so I'm alright with the times. Both my lauches were in 2wd.

1st run:
60' 2.112
330' 6.161
1/8 9.612
MPH 70.33
1000' 12.656
1/4 15.252
MPH 85.96

2nd run:
I completely lost traction and got 15.772 sec @ 82.66 mph.

All in all it wasn't that bad for my first try, just cold and windy like hell. I was running stock tune with stock pulley on the whipple. My intake temps were reading in the 170s so hopefully the water/meth injection will help with that.
