The 1.66 is the only reasonable 60' I see for a 4WD. Keep doing whatever you did that time and get yourself an 11 second pass.
That's what I was thinking. You have really good MPH, but your 60' times are killing your ET. 114 is easily enough MPH for an 11 second pass.

What kind of boost are you leaving on? As everyone said, 60's are killing you. Not sure if you were trying to leave when it went green but the RT's need a little attention as well.:D

Nice Henery, Like everyone else said, get the 60's and you have 11's in the bag! Your truck seems to be fairly heavy compared to some others posted weights:rolleyes:!!

No taction bars and I did not clamp the front of the springs,I was trying more of not pushing thru the brakes then anything, On one pass I know it was over 20 lbs and blew all 4 off on the 13.50 pass,Wish I could get the videos up, has fuel down low smokes to alittle past the 330 then goes clean for the rest of the ride.Seems it want to rev high, On that 12.09 pass I stuck it in manual and left it at in 5th gear and it pulled harder ontop.It kinda makes you sick for what I have into the darn truck and I cant even get into the 11's when other trucks with about the same stuff are running alot faster and then theres my 12.27 @112 1.88 60's with the same motor fuel setup only thing changed was the turbo went to the 4202 from the 4094.Truck might get the stock turbo back on before long, hell there truck with stock motors and stock vvts running just as fast and without the twin cp3s and all.

Henry, you should really look into some traction aiding devices, maybe another tire to hook better. My 7300 lb. truck can cut 1.71 60' times on heavy ass 20's with no clamps, but my tires are 13" wide, so they help with hookup. You have a mid 11 sec truck there, I see caltracs and a drag radial in your future.

The tires I am running are 285/75/16 Nitto Terra Grippers there 52lbs ea
The rims are Gunner 8's 16x8 there 33lbs ea
The stock PYO's are 17lbs ea

So I can save 64 lbs there if I ran the stock rims, That and my fat ass needs to go on a diet.the race weight was with me and a 1/4 of fuel and the tailgate off, floor mats gone. Hitch gone. no spare or jack or even the hoist for the spare.all the little junk inside, front tow hooks, soft cover and cross rails,baby seat.Not sure what line ex adds to the truck.

Do you still have the stock tires and wheels? You should try those and see where those take you. That and some spring clamps. With the kind of power your truck is capable of, 1.6 60 times should be an easy get.

My truck was full weight, minus the tailgate, the front head light and the spare tire... I even had a car seat back there...:D Just weighed it 2 weeks ago, 7340 with me (175) in it.

Those stock motor vvt turbos arent trapping 114mph I'd bet and if they are they have someting else to help. Mph shows good hp and if it runs that clean maybe she wants a little more fuel? Don't give up you'll get that 11 second slip!

64 lbs of rotating mass..... That should make a helluva difference. Gonna be harder to get them to hook up if they are any narrower or shorter than your current setup.
