First track outing
 

Thought I would post the vid of my first track passes with the truck.

Lowest boost (9 psi), 17* timing, launch off foot brake.

Re: First track outing
 

Dude, Nice Passes! that truck hauls man! tell me more about that suspension please! haha.

Re: First track outing
 

Thanks. It did OK for shakedown passes.

Here is the 4-link during the build. Track bar wasn't in yet, but you get the idea. I need to take some more pictures!

that's awesome man keep the pics and videos coming

Re: First track outing
 

You Sir, Have a really cool, sick truck! I like it! Nice paint too! I really mean that!

Re: First track outing
 

Simply bad a$$

It hooks and goes straight down the track.....rather quickly.

I watched your one other vid of the start up and walk around.....very nice :thumbs:

Re: First track outing
 

Thanks everyone!

I am very happy with the shakedown runs. No drama.

Now to turn up the boost, and leave on the transbrake!

Re: First track outing
 

i like your molotov cocktail rag LOL

Re: First track outing
 

1st pass no helmet..... crazy!

I liked it when the tech guy got a clue about no roll bar LOL.
Very cool hot rod you have. I love the way the truck lays out. Perfect ride height!

How does a trans break work with boost?
Is it putting a load on the engine enough to build the desired boost or any at all?

Re: First track outing
 

Cool deal..

What were the 60's?
Are you going to run a 2-step with the brake for spool?

Re: First track outing
 

T-brake should let me build boost at the line, and yes, I am going to use a 2-step too.

60's started at 2.2ish, 3rd pass was a 1.8, not too bad for a starting point.

Hoping to get 1.4 or 1.5 when really trying.

Re: First track outing
 

that is bad ass!!! i wanna put a turbo on my ls6 so bad!!!!

Re: First track outing
 

i want a turbo on my big block real bad:metal:

Re: First track outing
 

Is the 6.0 bone stock?
LQ4 I am guessing for the lower compression?
Truck manifolds turned backwards?

I have a 91mm for my 73 Camaro. I have often thought about putting it in my truck until the Camaro is ready, but I have a 2 stage bottle for the truck that I haven't really played with yet.

Re: First track outing
 

Cool setup!

Love hearing the turbo spool up.

Congrats on your nice shakedown passes.

Re: First track outing
 

truck looks GREAT just the way it sits, i love the look. Isn`t a 91mm a little big? What does the truck weigh?

Re: First track outing
 

Thanks everyone.

The 6.0 is stock crank, forged rods & pistons. 10.0:1 compression. Yes, higher than most, but it is what I wanted so it was peppy out of boost. I am running E85, so that helps out in that department.

Manifolds are custom fab'd stepped stainless steel process piping. Very thick-walled stuff.

91mm might be big for some people's taste, but I am very happy with it. VERY fast spool with the higher compression, and I don't have to wring the piss out of it to make power. I know it is different from the norm, and some people can't stand that. I am not insinuating that is what you meant, but some people bash the crap of me because my "setup" isn't ideal (compared to what they have read on the internet)!

Thanks again everyone. I am so happy to be at this point after 3 years. Now for a new fuel pump (A1000 took a dump on me), new plugs, & boost controller action.

Re: First track outing
 

I ask so i can learn, I`m very open minded to seeing different options. I`m getting all the stuff together to do a 6.0 in a regal with a Master Power 74. A real "no buck" put together, basically old stuff left over from jobs at my shop. Most of the stuff came out of a 2000 S10 blazer, it had made about 530 to the wheels, ran mid 11`s. He later went low 10`s with a 88 and a really, really good motor.
Sorry to jack your tread

Re: First track outing
 

That sounds like fun! Make sure you get that recorded.

Re: First track outing
 

I didn't think you did!

Forgot to answer one question, it weighed 3,620 without me. Heavier than I hoped, but I can still start stripping stuff out!

Thanks for the kind words.

Re: First track outing
 

My 72 monte is about 3970 with me in it. Steel headed BBC, power steering, factory interior. I`ve had the car forever, I don`t want to cut it up more then the little bit that I`ve already done. I would love to put my spare motor in something lighter to try to compete with some 3000 lb cars.
I was hoping to hear a C10 could be get down to low 3000.

Re: First track outing
 

If you were willing to go fiber hood & fenders, pull bumpers, etc. I think you could.

Heck, my steel wheels are heavy, and I could pull almost 70-80lbs by just going with lightweight alloys.

Re: First track outing
 

every 100 lbs is .001 off the time

Re: First track outing
 

think you meant .010 (a tenth)

Re: First track outing
 

Great truck, and sweet build on it! That 4 link is sweet!

Re: First track outing
 

man nice truck I love turbos, just ask my duramax!

Re: First track outing
 

Thanks again everyone!

Re: First track outing
 

awesome!!! where are the other videos of this truck at?

Re: First track outing
 

hmm....I don't know. That doesn't seem that fast for the 1/8th mile! lol

Talk about a sleeper. What fun to go out on a Sat. night and hand everyone their A$$

Well done!

Re: First track outing
 

Nice work SC! Does Allen still come out there with ya'll to SAR?

Re: First track outing
 

Thanks.

I am not sure if you are sarcastic about the 1/8th or not. I have never really been into times all that much.

Re: First track outing
 

We really haven't been around each other in the last 3+ years. He was there and I said hi to him that night.

Re: First track outing
 

I was totally kidding. For a truck that is not super light, that thing scoots and has awesome patina! :metal:

Re: First track outing
 

:thumbs:

Hopefully the next round of changes will cut a second or more off. :metal:
