Who else wants to go to the test and tune and see some carnage, just an FYI I'll tow you back home but it's 10 miles a beer and that's if I don't blow up my truck too :woott:

All joking aside any AZ dudes who wanna go to the test and tune it's the 11th and 18th of march. I'll be there along with a buddy in his blazing fast 16 second Bug.

I'm hoping I won't need a tow, but I'm glad you'll be there if I need it Sean!

James, Levi will let you take one day off... Or maybe he won't lol

Because James wants Sonic? And being it's right next door, you can't find the urge to leave? ;)

ha! nothing like getting home from work... get out of the tracker and hear a straight pipe 90s 1500 comin down the street. then you see it and go "damn, that looks alot like chavez truck.... wait im pretty sure it is!". then he hits the squealing brakes and sure as shit it is! :roflmao:

"what are you doing?" "driving through you neighborhood to get to sonic" i take a sec goin wtf?? "why are you driving through the neighborhood" "cause 59th is all kinds of shut down and i really want sonic so figured there HAD to be some kind of back way through your neighborhood for it" i then proceed to give said direction to him cause i do that too :roflmao:. only josh :D

Well, no banana rods!

Started the night off SLOW.. Ran a 14.7 @ 90 and six passes later clicked off a 12.6 @ 110 after finally figuring out a fuel limiting issue (josh was pissed he didn't figure it out earlier)

Had 50psi in the tires and weighed it at 6850 after the last pass. Obviously it has enough fuel and air for 11s but the rods won't like that very much lol

I wouldnt get cocky. They dont just "bend" in one shot....its a progressive thing. I just hope you dont break one....that would be really bad.

Pretty soft 60ft. Work on that and you'll drop another 4-5 tenths. Its got potential. ;)

Yeah I'm not getting cocky at all. I'm pretty happy with how it did, weighs as much as a crew cab and not an ounce of prep. This same tune will get me pretty close to an 11s pass.

In tuning alone from pass one to pass six we picked up 20mph and 2.1 seconds. We barely scratched the surface of dialing this truck in.

Don't get me wrong, I know what path I'm going down. I know I'm playing with fire.

If I bend a rod, blow a hole in the block, snap the crank.. Oh well, that's part of the game right? Will I feel bad if I slick the track, yes. :hug:

Those are aweaome results...but I think slicking the track will be the last thing on your mind, if that indeed happens :hug:
