I think this board has the lowest average ET of any diesel board. I would say the average ET is somewhere in the high to mid 12's. While many Dodge guys brag about "other people's trucks", we tend to talk about our own.

Everyone, make sure you fill out your ET's in our timeslips area.

Man I am diein to take the LBZ down the track when I get home, She should be high 12's according to your new kick ass calculater you guys have, lets see if I can't crack a set of Stocks LBZ pistons in the process, then I have that excuse I need to tear her down.:D

Nope, its not just you.

I still cant believe I've gone a lot faster in a 6500lbs pickup than I did in a 3000lbs car. Absolutely crazy.

Yeah I can't wait till the track opens back up as my butt dyno tells me everything is working like it should so I will better my times easily if it will hook. Alot of fast stock turbo'd trucks popping up. This season I'm sure there will be alot more 11 second trucks out there.

its been 4 months since i raced last and i cant wait to get back at it , i am hoping for 11's next year but at my altitude i dont think i'll get it deff low 12's unless i add more fuel and turn my block into swiss cheese :eek: this site does have alot of good running trucks its starting to make me feel really slow :D

I think Pat's correct, a lot of trucks in the 12's and below on this board.

I can name 15 trucks off the top of my head from 12.0 to 12.7 with a built trans and some aftermarket turbo some stock. It is extremely impressive how these things run with 7500$. With a 4094, Dual CP3's, and a Built trans you can run say 11.8... figure 45,000$ for the truck and 10,000$ for extra's. at 55,000$ id like to know what sports car can run that and still be a Daily Driver.

My truck would have been one of those if I could have run at a sea level track, but the best I could muster was 12.91 before she shit the bed...Damn LBZ pistons:mad:

If we all had to run at your altitude then the average times would be higher for sure. Tracks around here are around 1400-1600ft above sea level.
