went to the track
 

12.42 at 110.34....man its hard to stop one our trucks going that fast. That was with a 100 shot set to come on at 2500rpm. the 1/8 mile timer was out. had 2 flat 60 foot times...traction was an issue

Thats d@mn fast man. That is exactly what I want to be able to do in my truck. Im working on getting there slowly but surly...sent u a pm. THanks

Don't they make you have a roll cage when you are going that fast? lol

Good job! Are you sure you haven't been in the wind tunnel working on the aero package? lol. That is some big mph for a truck.

Wow Jim, I want to go for a ride in that truck!. SWEEEEET

bigjimzlll, how much air are you running in the ET Streets?

12.4's is hauling! I agree....these trucks aren't ment to go 110. While mine will hit 110 pretty easy, it won't do it in a 1/4 mile....but is does feel scary, and the brakes don't work all that great.

BTW, Who won the race? You or the green car? :)

I think it sounds like it is time to turn in your drum brake club membership card. lol 110 mph in the 1/4 mile is a bit more than the old drum brakes were meant to handle. lol Hopefuy I will be getting rid of my drum brakes in the near future too. :bowtie: :burnout: :burnout:

That's real impressive Jim. Does your truck hook up any better after you lowered it?

I sm running 17lbs in the et streets....and that makes for an interesting ride...It dosent seam to hook any better since lowering, but I did a few HP improvements, so its hard to tell. I need a cage at 10.99(no time soon..lol)...the green charger went 13.2..I went 12.6(But my reaction time was .493) meaning a red light. I had a hard time timing the tree. The truck was reacting faster then b4

Have you ever done any comparison runs with the tailgate up or down? I did it once when I found a track that would let me run with it down (Firebird is either up or off) - I ran one run up, two runs down, and one run up. I think the last run was the fastest, and all four were well within my usual spread of a few tenths on either number. I'd like to repeat it sometime, seeing as now I can get my truck to cut 15.7's very consistently, with the occasional 15.8 if I don't let it cool off...

Edit: One other thing, this might be an area where there is a difference between the long and shortbeds. Mine's a shorty...

I only ran once with it up..back to back it was 2/10s slower with it up

Interesting. I want to try and get some more testing on it...won't happen for a while, seeing as I'm not gonna drive to Speedworld this week anytime, and Firebird doesn't like it...

Kinda a moot point for me, since I think my Quarter Mile Club wants runs at either Firebird or Speedworld only, though.

Dam thats fast Jim, congrats! thats a huge drop in time with the lil shot added.

Holy that is fast. Fried rice yet ?

You know the problem with fried rice? after you eat it...your hungry again in an hour...

bigjimzlll, what rpm are you turning when you cross the finish line?

Jim I can see what's coming...... Real Slicks, Disks, and then Bigger Jets on the Spray Bar. Then cage, more cubes, Fogger system, ect....... You better see a doctor before it's to late. LOL Looks like your having a blast. Good luck....Stoker

5300 rpm....going to get 4.10s...I just won a 4000rpm stall converter....I cant wait
