My fastest LBZ time was a 8.1 @ 84 MPH. That was with stock turbo, lift pump, and built trans. T-bars was actually raised up a little..
New best for me...

I went back to the 1/8 track tonight. I had a new best of 1.8 60' with a 8.16 at 77.07. That was in a lose to a new vette. I ran a F150 Harley truck with a stout sounding motor and a Whipple I got him off the line and won with a 8.23at 77.08 to his 8.25 at 84.73. On that run the front end was hopping around.
I'm having problems holding boost at the line. I get to the staging lights and start building boost and once it lights it fluctuates all over I'm trying to launch at 10 psi but I can't get it to be stable. Also I looked at my gauges at the end of the track and I'm a little above 30psi boost and almost 1500 egt. Egt's seem high but I don't know I'm a rookie still learning.
This track is narrow and almost no staging area you wait in line next to the track then when they wave you up you pull out on to the track then back up into the water area. The people watching are right next to the cars. I was the only diesel running again tonight and I'm sure the people were getting a face full of black smoke!

Your boost and EGT's seem about right, 1500* is high but its only for a few seconds, it wont hurt anything. I still cant figure your trap speed out. It looks like your truck is pulling very hard through the mid range and falling off on the top? You can have fuel issues and not code. I have my liftpump on a toggle switch, if I forget to turn it on my slip looks similar to yours, truck just noses over in 5th gear like its ran out of fuel. Great times though, are you at full weight? If so take your pass front seat and rear seat, spare and hitch and you'll be in the 7's.
You must have ran at irvington, thats the only track i know of in mobile. That track is 60' short of a true eighth which is why your mph seems low. Didnt get to run there on new setup but i ran 7.20s at 90mph. New setup would have went 6s.
Yes on the full weight around 7200lbs. I'm at work here so I couldn't drop the weight any. I had been throwing a P0087 with Dustins big tune and that is what I've been trying to check. I tried to log last weekend but forgot when I updated my autocal it erased all the pids so last night I tried again and got some logs and sent them to him today. He is going to make a tcm tune for me. That 1500 was a typo It was closer to 1600 as the gauge was almost pegged. The truck seems to be pulling hard all the way down the track. My airdog runs when the key is on and the truck seems to smoke alot on this tune. Hopefully Dustin will have some time to look at the logs and make some adjustments.
Don't know exactly cause the egt was what I was looking at but over 30psi maybe 34 just don't remember. I have a hard time looking away from the track there as it is short and they keep telling everyone to lift at the finish.
I know it won't help the mph but I have a set of rancho 9000's setting in the garage for when I get home. Maybe they will help with the 60'
Oh...and I really enjoyed beating that F150 HD with the built motor :woott: In a 1/4 he would have caught me.
I guess I need glasses more than I thought...on my way to work I got a close look at my egt gauge...it only goes to 1500 deg.
I reckon not, my truck is .4 faster at that track but i lose 4-5mph than what i run at my local track. It is short and narrow for sure
