faster then i was thinking..
 

finally too out the truck with a bunch of friends for the first time after the new motor. and upgrades :metal:

fastest time out was a 17.00 with my 305/th350 (old setup)

(new set up)
fastest time out was a 14.01 -- couldnt break 13.99 had no helmet. so didnt mess with timming. but it had a bunch left in it.

That's a respectable time. What are the motor specs?

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

neighbors pinto wagon. built race car. was a 9 sec car. blew the motor 10 years ago, he put a stock 302 out of a 80s mustang. everything else is full race.
he left me at the line (transbrake) but i pulled him in on the big end :metal::metal:

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

thanks bro.

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

if you'll look on your build thread, as I told you, put it in your sig. then we get back to that helmet thing. hardhead, no helmet. oh, just hardheaded period lol.

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

Oldies with great muscles... that is what I have to say... really a little bit of modification can make this rides like a monster!!!

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

thanks thats more then a little modification tho :metal:

Re: faster then i was thinking..

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

Wow dude! that is bad ass. it must feel great to see those times drop so much after all the hard work!

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

:metal::metal: yea it feels great. going out again mess with the timming and jetting. see if i can get into the high 13's :metal:

the 2and1/4 exhaust piping is realy choking it up it feels. going to 3inch and better mufflers when money allows :chevy:

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

Nice time. Sounds like you had traction issues in the vid. So how many runs did you make? Can you post a few timeslips? I would like to see your 60, 330 and 1/8 mile numbers.

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

no that was the mustang in the other lane. slipping and slidding :lol:
you couldnt hear my truck. mine didnt spin..

i think i made 6 passes. ill post up a slip or 2

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

that pinto is bad a$$!
Truck at the track doing 14's way cooler thou!:metal:

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

the 14.01 is in my truck somewhere. heres one..

r/t .129
60' 2.100
330' 5.896
1/4 14.173
mph' 94.84

r/t .210
60' 2.111
330' 5.910
1/4 14.196
mph'94.06


sorry the 1/8 didnt print on the slips

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

drag radials will get u in the 13's man!!
some nice 10 inch truck rallys...that would look killer at the track.
That too, its cool to see people's jaw drop at the track when they see how fast a truck is..lol

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

a stall converter will get me there. yea thats the stock one. id get it up to 1100rpm before it would push threw the brakes ;)

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

I love my 10'' verter at the track, but for everyday i really liked the 12'' B&M 2200/2500 verter. It did pick up 3/10s with the 10'' but its a pain in the... You know

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

thats awesome.....you need more traction and lower gears by the look of your 60' time.

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

Lower gears can't do. I just put 3:42 in. Don't want to go lower I drive the hell out of this truck. But a good 2500 stall would be good for me. I raced with 28inch tall tires my street tires are 25inch tall but they don't hook up even know there at 315/35/17 tire

Re: faster then i was thinking..
 

congrats on the 13.99....did you play with the jetting and timing? also if your running a 28inch tire with those gears when it comes tire time go with a 26" should help out... dont know if you have a shift kit but if you do a converter that would be a good time for a shift kit.... keep up the good work...ill be watchng for up dates as you head for the 12s
