Have no idea what boost you are leaving at, but you should be in the low1.7's to mid 1.6's easy. Take your tires down to around 22psi, I assume you don't race with the tranny in the same mode as street driving? (I.E. race in tow haul?) if you do I recommend racing in tow haul and let it learn in that but don't drive it that way on the street. From what you said you don't have a roll bar so your only going to get one shot at it before being asked to park it again. Take as much weight off of it as possibe, tail gate, second battery if you have one, tow hitch, spare tire and tire holder, rear seat. Get it up around 20 psi if boost and launch it. You make a 10 sec pass easy.:thumb:
I actually ran it down the track just like I do on the street and it shifted flawlessly. I just drove it around on tune 5 the day before to get it used to it. As far as weight goes, I have a BCH hidden hitch which is heavy as hell, 2 batteries, full interior and 3/4 of a tank. Only weight reduction was the wheel and tire combo and no tailgate. I think for Jersey I'll ditch the rear seat and one battery. Might also consider restalling the converter since it is only a 2000 stall now.
You gotta admit that is some funny stuff when you are told NO more TO fast park it with a 7000 pound pick up. You know all the other racers are like WTF??? :roflmao:
Impressive time to say the least and congratulations, had to be the tailgate that made all the difference....
Are you getting to the line first? I always get up there quickly and first so my chargers have time to boost up and stop climbing, I cut 1.7 60's every time leaving around 20

I'm not racing anyone. I don't pay attention to reaction time. I usually just pulled up and lit both beams then started spooling and let the other car leave alone.
Awesome job Steve!!! I'll get ya fixed up on the fueling. The mph says your 10's no problem and the dyno was a little low...:thumb: It's funny that you get told to park the truck you drive daily.:roflmao:
They were all shaking their heads as I swapped to my all terrains and drove out with all the 12 and 13 second race cars on trailers. Can't wait to dyno with these 100 overs. The truck is an absolute monster.
I ran 22 in the front & 18 in the back but I was also much lighter. 6400 race weight. I cut 1.60 60s launching at 22 psi. Like you said traction isn't your issue & neither is power judging by your trap speed. Get your converter loosened up & fix that boost leak & you'll hit your 10 effortlessly. If you drop all the weight you can and launch at 25 psi......
Says right on the tire. Mine say max weight 1400lbs @ 20psi.
I think 30psi is for the PYO/275 drag radials, NOT our balloons.
I ran 24-26 front and 16-18 rear. With the little radials, ran 26-28 front and 16-18 rear and cut a bunch of low 1.5's with them.
