That's it so far but I haven't made a full quarter mile pass with the spray. Most racing around here is 1/8th mile! I mostly run the 6.00 class. Last year at super chevy I time trialed with the dot cars and forgot to put enough time in the timer.(the time in my sig with 6 seconds of spray) The next time I tried for a full quarter mile shot the track locater broke at the hit of the transbrake. I lifted and didn't hurt anything. I had a friend come weld it back on at the track but on test and tune night the track goes to crap from the street cars the later the night gets. The truck has gone 5.32 in the eighth when the previous owner had the truck with 512ci and 2 stages of nitrous. I wanted to try to get in the 8's last year but never got to make it happen. I have a fogger and I would like to try the 468 with two stages since I can't afford what I really want which is a 565! I really like your truck and have tried to get up with you in the past. I wonder how fast my truck would be with your motor! I'm at 3200 pounds with me in it! I'm gonna try to pick it up some this year. I think one of the first thinks I'll do is plumb the fogger and send my carb to patrick at pro systems! I also never really had the right tire for the gear. I have been running 33x10.5w's and I tried some 29.5 true 10.5's and went almost as fast but had tire shake! I'd love to see your truck in action! If you come east to race let me know! You should do a write up on your truck in the racing section. I think you have the fastest truck on the board(for now)
