Few pics from last weekend at the track, ran a 10.77@124mph with a 1.56 60' on the Sat. Needs a bit more tuning yet.

That`s real impressive and definately worthy of a response.Especially when someone else just posted a thread to see who had the fastest truck.You`re right up there and I`d think this would be of interest to fast truck guys.Is this your best yet?Where do you hope she`ll come in at with more tweekin`?

Thats cool, and 10's with a heavy truck like ours is awesome. Are you looking for low 10's with tuning?

SCOTI · 09-02-2007, 08:45 AM

Cool pics. How about letting everyone know what it takes to get one of these into the 10's? Suspension, drivetrain, power adder?

Your truck is AWESOME! Good luck with the tuning.

wow thats very impressive. i didnt know you could get that kinda speed out of one of these with heavy,stock body panels...

Hey thanks guys, I'm hoping somewhere in the 10.5 to 10.6 with a 150 shot. The 10.77 was my best so far at a 3975' DA, going to try shifting a bit earlier and a taller tire would help when running nitrous. Truck weighs 4373lbs. with me in it ( hood on ) I run a 489 BBC stroker, with a 750 Demon carb dynoed at around 640hp and 632trq. I'm now runing a 850 Demon carb thinking on the dyno would be aroung 650hp now ( 630-620hp in the truck maybe?? ) plus I run a 150 shot of nitrous. Truck is street legal, runs full exhaust NHRA techs for 10.00, I run a full manual TH350, 4500 stall, truck 12 with 4.10's, Eaton posi, Moser axels, LPW braced. ( planning on a narrowed Moser 9' with discs ) I run stock front suspension with lowering springs and shocks, back end in 4-linked. Here is a last years run of 10.95 with the smaller carb. I'll get some newer video up soon, quality isn't that good on the new stuff daughters first time taping

Too bad if you blink you miss it Jim, would be even sweeter if it carried them through the 60' instead of a quick up down.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-02-2007, 08:35 PM

Sweet videos... Looks to be a very fun ride.
