Pretty Kool video's I'll have to blow the dust off my video camera when I get my nos convertor back in!

I drove 60 miles to race 7.0 class tonight and they only had a 6.20 race! I had already made a 6.90 and 6.95 pass I was ready! I new the truck wouldn't go that fast so I unhooked the exhaust trying to gain a little. I ran a 6.53. I went out first round of course! I went another 6.53 first round! I hooked the exhaust back up and it went a 6.62 so the 3 inch flowmasters got to go! What do you guys run for exhaust and have you tried it both ways? (capped and Uncapped)

I went from a set of 2-chamber flowmaster race muffs to a set of Dynomax Race Magnums in a 3 1/2". Less restriction than the Flowmasters and quieter than the bullet mufflers.

mines 7.50-11.99

[71Dragtruck]

I run full 3" exhaust with a H-pipe, and Magnaflows. I've never tryed running open headers, too lazy to take it off and put it back on. Some day I might give it a try.

My track Pro class cut off is 7.50 to 13.99, how you like that spread.

These were heads up classes at an outlaw track! We can brkt race at any E.T. its just electronics or no electronics!

[bigjimzlll]

I run the 3" flowmasters too. delta 40s. I have a set of bullets I'm going to try. They are loud...but if they are worth a tenth....

[409biscayne]

You have to like the sub 2.00 60', you might have to leave a few parts at home for the last run of the season.

[71Dragtruck]

Anybody besides 409 getting any racing in? Rained here for a week straight, last races of the season were canceled and now moved to this weekend and I have to work. Well so much for some last runs to work the rest of the bugs out of the nitrous system, I guess 10.5's will have to wait till next year.

[bigjimzlll]

I'm putting a new cam in this week...I have 2 day races all of October...can't wait

[71Dragtruck]

Best I can hope for is the weather holds up and they have another street legal day.

[djracer]

I got my convertor back and I ordered new mufflers and front tires! I might try to race Sunday.


You guys need to moved here to the south we race pretty much year round!

[57sailplane]

hey djracer.. i am having trouble with my step notch on the rear.. cause the roll cage is in the road. yours looks like it runs to near the same place as mine.. could you tell me what size of tube your step notch is made of.. it must be plenty strong for racing...

[71Dragtruck]

Well how about one last update from you down south guy's, I know I'm done for the season and time to let this thread go to sleep for the winter. Guess it's time to get the sled ready for my winter fix of C12 exhaust.

I have not had a good chance to really fine tune yet but I am running the truck this Sunday as it is the last weekend for us. I know I am running a little rich and need to advance the timing. I really wanted to get it on the dyno and tune it first but that is the break. I will let you know what I run. I am guessing without the tuning I will be in the mid to low 11's. I do not think I will see the 10's until next year.
I will be able to add back in timing quick under boost as I put in the msd boost timing master that allows me to add or take out timing under boost. We put this and the 6AL box in the glove box.

409biscane(Doug) are you heading out this Sunday?

Oh yeah , i'm racing . Last chance for this year , i don't have any wild motor like some lucky dogs so i've resorted to throwing everything out ( like 71dragtruck said) that i don't need , lol . Tomorrow's the last chance for a 14.25 with this motor , monday my extra 396 is going to the builders , have a t400 with trans brake , etc . Needs to be high 12's for next season.
Brian , we need to have a grudge match , get some pics to post . At least i'll be there at the start .
Later ........................................... 409

[bigjimzlll]

Ive got 7 more races left this October. 2 this weekend one next then 4 in the last 2 weeks

[bigjimzlll]

red lite first round.....gawd I hate to do that. Theres always tomorrow

[bigjimzlll]

congrats Doug....I stunk it up again... went .0016 red. I installed a new cam and taller front tires. Just havent got the feel for it yet. 3 more point races left, one is a Wally race and the other is a king of the track. Maybe I can make it count then.

[bskylerj]

Well gentlemen, and I use that term loosly, I did not have as much fun as 409 (Doug) did out at the track. I was the first guy down the track. First run I could not get any traction as I had not taken enough air out of the street slicks. The the truck under full throttle would not shift out of first until I let off of the gass all the way. Then got back into it and spun again. I really only got to be full throttle for the second 1/8th mile of the track. Ran 13.39 at 104.86mph.

Second run took air pressure to 12 and it hooked alot better. I started in second gear to see if tranny would shift on its own from first to second then manually to 3rd. Came out hard ran 1.74 60 ft but when I went to shift to 3rd it slipped and I had to lift again twice to get it to go in to gear.

3rd run I left it in drive to see if it would shift on its own through out. Launched hard again but slipped again trying to get into drive. I had to let out again ran 12.90 at 114 mph. I also foulded a plug on this run as I was running to rich. As mentioned earlier last week I have not had time to get it on the dyno to tune it in. So I sat and watched 409 and some other friends do some racing as I did not want to brake anything else.

I know I have the power and speed to get close to where I want just need a tune and a little item called a freaking tranny to get there. The worst part is I have to wait till next year.
Here is some pics of 409 (Doug) out at the track.
