Well I was finally able to get on a track after about 5 weeks in a row of them cancelling the track due to weather. The videos arent all that great the gf didn't know how to work the thing but on some of them you can see the times. I will post my slips when i am able to scan them in. I had some issue getting used to the new setup plus wearing a helmet threw everything off for me and going by the sound of the charger.

First run came out of the hole real soft. 12.996 @ 107.2

Second run still leaving real soft. 13.012 @ 106.3

Third run actually launched decent. (Video sucks at the end) 12.78 @ 105.9

330- 5.295
1/80- 8.153
MPH- 85.47
1000- 10.657
1/4- 12.782
MPH- 105.90

But I was the fastest truck at the track that night. Plus I put almost a full second on that vette at the 1/8 mile.

Yeah I need more practice with the new setup for sure. I was happy with what I ran seeing how little track time I have had. Plus I need to find out what boost and rpm is good to launch at. I was going off of sound of the big charger but with the helmet on I cant hear it very well. My last two runs without my helmet I ran 12.7 and 12.8

I think it was around 2200 rpms and I'm not sure on boost, I had my helmet off so I was going off sound again. It's kind of hard to find a good back road here. I will stop in a church parking lot late at night and practice a few launches. But with different parking lots it launches different, plus I have full tire pressure.

I was actually wondering when they would boot me off the track, but they didnt say a word to me. It could have been it was 1:30 am and they didnt care.

Nice job! Question, (this is in NO way negative) How hot of a tune were you running? I only ask cause all i hear is how easy it is to go low 12's and even into 11's with twins, granted im sure there is ALOT more in it being the first time to the track with that setup.

Yeah easy to dip into low 12's at a lower altitude maybe. We sit right around 4500' in elevation.
