I'm running a 3200 rpm revmax converter . First run out I went 12.78@105.7mph. 1.92 60 foot. Quite a bit better Than my last time out!

last night the family and I took the old truck out to the strip for the first time with the new engine/chassis setup. I decided to run just on motor because of the new engine,trans,suspension,brakes etc... and it did ok for the first time out. left on foot brake it started to transfer and broke loose clicked it off at the 1/8 mile to check the plugs etc....

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

my first run ever 1/4 13.7 at 98 with a .532r/t and a 60ft of 2.18 with a bolt on and cammed 6.0 with a stock 4l80e and street tires my third run I ran a 13.6 but I lost my time slip, 4th run did a light burnout had to wait forever for the car in front of me took off side ways and coasted down the track at a 16.8, next run out I will have a 3600 stall, a better tune, and drag radials hopping for a low 13

I think if you could get your 60' down to a 1.6 you should run a 11.5-6 easy with that MPH.

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

Yeah the track was pretty bad. I couldn't get traction off the line. It was a street legal night so there was no traction compound down. But I was pretty pumped. It was almost a second faster just from a gear swap and bigger tires

New bests for me :)

418ci LS motor running E48 (91/E85 mix)
Power Glide trans
4.56/30" Drag radial


Motor Pass
60' = 1.539
330' = 4.298
1/8 = 6.673 @ 103.984
1000' = 8.749
1/4 = 10.54 @ 122.293

It is laying over on the top end and the converter is "too tight" for motor. But not bad for first weekend out shake down.


100 hit.
60' - 1.521
1/8 - 6.301 @ 112.336
1/4 - 10.216 @ 111.814

I left on the trans brake on motor, reach up and armed the bottl. N20 is on a WOT switch so it came on right away. I was out of gear well before the 1,000' mark.

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

rock on brother that's awesome!!!!

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

Well finally got truck out to make a nitrous pass. Made a motor pass to check out new rear coilover spings (200# -> 150#) from previous trip,went a 10.70@122 . First nitrous pass came off the transbreak and shifted way early to second gear. Will be moving transbreak button to steering wheel from shifter . Second nitrous pass was ok but not wanting to shift early was a little late as you see in the video. Looks like it sat the front tires down just pass the 60' mark with a 1.35 60'. Best pass of the night was a 9.82 @ 133.61 on 1 stage. Now to finish wiring the second stage and see what it will do. Also meet Dinnut and some his buddies, good to meet you Dinnut.

foot braked the truck and shot 150hp on it for the first nos pass. It picked the tires up and unloaded. upon inspection later I found a dent in the rear differential cover. It looks like the panhard bar has been hitting the cover causing the rear to unload.

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

Lookin good. Should really move out once you find and fix the little issues!

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

Thanks guys. the truck has a dart little m block. it is a 434cube sbc. it has brodex ik200 aluminum heads and a motown intake. Barry grant 750 might demon 10.5 to 1 comp. solid roller bullet cam. MSD billet dis. and a digital 6 box. going to convert to e-85 in a month. it has an NX system with edlebrock controller. I have the 250 pills but spraying 75%. So there is still a lot left in the truck especially when we change to e-85. The trans is my stage 3 700r4 trans. I will post a video and pics of the truck and the 6.42 pass some one video at my last race. the truck should run 6:15 when we get it dialed in with the 250 shot and hoping for high 5's when we convert to e-85. Were also running a 10 point cage mild steel. Oh and the truck is pearl white with a spare tire on the side and yes I'm(to the younger croud) an old man

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

Thanks for the info. think i remember seeing a pic in the magazine when it came out had a big T on the spare tire cover.

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

i have personally seen this truck in action it has a big t on the spare tire cover and its awesome, he drives it to the track and runs mid to low 6's. very nice truck... hmmm i need one of your 700r's, my 350 is slipping in high gear,you might remeber my truck we were at brainerd a few weeks ago about the same time on friday test and tune, next time your there give me a hollar, love to check out your truck.

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

I'll be at the Johnny Walker race on the 8th. I may also be there on the 3rd. Brainered changed their test & tune to Sundays. I will just be back from PRI late Saturday night. I teach auto mechanics and I have an engine building team that is competing at PRI. We just got back from Vegas SEMA show they got 3rd in the nation. Hope they can win this one.
Sorry guys I'm like a proud popa when it comes to my kids at school. Ok now for the trans just pm me & I'll pm you my phone #.

a little better
8.08 1/8

dropped probably 100 pounds off the truck with much cooler weather the last pass ended up wheel hopping nasty for at least 30 feet, ran 8.14, with a 1.97 60 that could of been a 7.9x pass but that much wheel hop was pretty scary, sure thought the 12 bolt was going to go boom, or the 1350 u joints were going to break

Made some improvements in the 60' from my last time out. put some landry 250lb 18" springs, and some competition engineering 90/10 shock on the front. rear still needs to be redone but $$$ is tight. http://youtu.be/qVSdGFHc1zU
