Thanks guys!
Yes it is, nice folks, it's run efficiently, and good track prep! I launched at 10-11psi with 78psi in the front tires and 72 in the back, chirped the front is all. Wanted to run exactly as I do on the street (both headlights, 2 big bags of tools under the rear seats, DD tune, etc., then work things from there if it wouldn't pull the times).
Always fun making a pass there!

I hope I can get closer to those times with mine. The best 60' time I could get was 1.77 and that was leaving at 14psi. Anything higher and I was squealing. What size tires are you running? My best was 12.96 @ 103 but that was with factory shit points. I feel like I could squeeze a bit more out shifting up at 3700-3800.
I have 265/75/16 uniroyal LT's... $110/ea lol. They hook alright considering they were aired up so hard. I'm running a set of old air shocks in the back that were originally on my turbo 2 door 4runner lol. And homemade trac bars. Front has non-adjustable (woops) qa1's and hypercoil springs. I feel adjustable shocks would have helped here, you can see the front raise pretty high when I leave, guessing some adjustment could help keep the front down a little better. Maybe some more air in the back to raise it a bit... This was my best 60ft, nothing special, but good enough... PMP track prep sucked the few times I went there with the truck, always hooked much better on the street than it would there.
Thank you sir,
I saw your truck, but didn't know it was you! dang man, would have been nice to say hi!!!
not trying to stir anything up, but can you actually call this a stock trans pass since you have a converter upgrade? Or maybe I am miss understanding your sig
great run for sure! :thumb:
great run for sure! :thumb:
i was going to try and find you after my second pass but i think you had already left. we will have to get something together soon and do a meet.
Well.. I'm not trying to claim anything as far as put me on some list of stock trans records or something, but internally the trans is stock with 126k miles. The converter and co-pilot should help, but they are only going to take it so far. The trans is stock, but there is a "*" in there.. I'm not trying to hid the fact I dumped a TC in when I pulled the trans to pull the turbo... Thanks btw
It didn't go real well....
I'm running a southbend dual friction clutch.. major POS. I was warned from a friend of mine that these types of clutchs will weld to the flywheel when you launch a car like mine by slipping it out... (the silver metallic side of the disc). Launched the car really hard tonight, 1.65 60ft only using 1st (it wouldn't shift because it welded itself). I got it to break free by "bucking" the car really hard... but after that I could only leave softly... best of 11.71 at 125mph... was hoping for a 126-127 trap so even that was a bit disappointing.... but really bummed this brand new clutch has to come out and more money for something better
