Re: My 52 GMC Build
Very cool to hear you had a good trip! That's awesome mileage for sure. Those modified big rat rods are getting pretty popular. I kind of want to do one.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
So for anyone local or that wants to know. I am taking my truck to St Thomas Drag strip this Saturday. Test and tune is from 11-4. Last year I did 17.64 at 75mph. Hoping to shave off 2 sec, I have several advantages this year.
I have now drag raced before My transmission is not slipping!! Better trans controller with drag mode 8 psi last year now 12psi!! Shifting 400 rpm higher per gear!! I think I know how to get boost off the line After all that I might take the hood off. It will be, what it will be. I did not build a drag truck, but it's a blast.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
So truck did great did 9 runs all better than last year. Last year 17.64@75
This year 16.80@78 woo hoo I'm in the 16's with my 5000lb truck. Still a bit to play with but that will be for next year. I could only get 9psi, so I'll look into that and when I built some boost on the line I spun. But thats for next year. The truck pulled really well and I beat a turbo cobalt!!!!!!! twice. My best reaction time was .13 way better than last year as well. I'm on the right.
