Nice runs Jarod, that is sick on a 10" lifted full weight truck with 35's. I launched at about 15PSI on my old truck on 37's with t-bars about 1" cranked and HD steering and the poor ricer next to me about shit his pants. When we pulled over at the end of the run, he told me it looked like my tire was about to fall off
You noticed he saw my front tire all the way down the street, and it was a Acura NSX. He was pissed my truck smoked his Super Car...:rofl:

It was good to see you guys again, and meet the rookie's. I'll get the parts ordered and nock out that turndown for you. I can also order another furrel for your current exhaust, so it's still usable if needed. Get those stock keys back in and try some more boost. Your CV's looked really good even with the lift (Almost straight).
I was only able to hit a 12.13 @ 109.8mph this time out. Combination of +30 deg warmer weather and muddy air filter. I've got some "Nevada Style" pictures to post but im thinking about saving them for black mail. I tried to welcome these NV guy's back to Cali and took my truck "Nevada Style" (Muddy), and they show up Cali Style (Spotless) and left me hang'n. Almost didn't make it through tech because of the mud on my wheels, I let the tech know I had other tires going on.

You have got to post those pics :rofl:
What can I say us Nevadans know how to make stuff work with whatever material is available:rofl:
Good job jarad. if your not throing any codes you probbaly dont need a fuel shim but logging the truck can confirm tht. tht will be one of the next steps you will need to do so you can dial in where you need work. Great times for your first time at the track and tht monster truck
Thanks Tommy! I was holding 25k rail pressure all the way down the track, at 52lbs boost, and 1350 EGT's. I am going to try a few suspension things and see if I can launch a bit harder. I think if I can get my 60's down into the 1.7's I can get into the 12.7's and maybe with some injectors and fine tuning maybe 12.5's At least thats what I really am hoping for.
At least thats what I really am hoping for.
I've launched at 22 psi and gone perfectly straight. Then my little buddy changed some tuning around and I can't go over about 10-12 psi. Over that and its gross! Felt like front end was going to come unglued! T-bars were dropped also. Awesome truck by the way.

Thanks I just need to grow a pair, and not be scared to break stuff I think.
Well since you mentioned one, I'll post it up. The shadow kills the pic, but you can make out the tree trunk jack stand they must have pulled out of the river. BTW, Parts are on order!
