Youll get in the 11's... just hope it doesnt take you 2 years of trying :D I know a guy that almost set his truck on fire because no matter what he couldn't get off those 12.1's
:hug: no worries Nick I know a few of you got my back and will help get it there. I like sharing my success and failures, we can all learn from it, thats what made this site so great back in the day. Id like to give a little back if i can.
Think you should buy Max'd Out from Rob and go straight to the low 9's.:thumb:;)
Im pretty sure I would shat myself:D Oh and if I bring one more Dmax home the wife will shoot me.... Although I could possibly survive, Hmmm.

I installed caltracs and Verlon gave me a set 305 50r 20 toyo proxes on raciline wheels. I removed everything towing related as that is what the blue truck is for.

Thats some nice stuff. I am hoping to hit the 11's next spring with the cheaters. Going to swap out the converter to the Goerend k this wintwr as well.

30% overs, stroker pump, TWO aftermarket turbos and stuck in the 12's :roflmao:

Sorry just yanking your chain. I know Mike doesn't really like the ML converter in higher HP stuff, I wonder how much that's hurting your 60'. Do you have a lockup switch?

You are hitting exactly what I was talking with Albert on. 2nd gear starts and that ML just looks lazy out of the hole at a 2300rpm launch. If it will take more rpm, he needs it. Think he’s gunna try the bt lock up box out of his blue rig to put in it. He’s running the factory tuned lock up and I know that can be late in lock up, somewhere around top of second or bottom of third on a lazy converter.

It’s just not hitting the tires or suspension so it’s not moving any weight transfer.

Don't forget the built engine:1bird:

This truck has spent it's whole life being a second string tow rig, she has a little stage fright is all:D It's just being difficult but ill win, I'm more stubborn.

As James mentioned, were gonna leave on more rpm/boost and throw the bt box from the blue truck in the white one. I also don't want to throw the kitchen sink at it just yet as I don't have any fancy billet parts in the transmission either. Just trying to ease up on 11's not blow on by or blow the trans up.

I really think it would have gone into the 11's easily if the MAF didn't go psycho on me, pretty sure its wiring because it acted perfectly normal going home...

Oh thanks:D Built truck runs low 12's should get a ton of views:rofl:

Well dang, now I really wish I'd known you were there. I had a spare MAF in my center console, we could've swapped it to see if it was the sensor or the wiring.

I know what you mean about feeling stuck in the 12s. I was stuck at a 13.0x for a long time. Probably why I was so excited Saturday when I got a 12.96 in street trim.

Sounds like you're gonna get your 11 next year, between the MAF wiring and James suspension voodoo.

I run a K but this TCM was created when I was running a precision that wouldn't lock and coupled quite poorly.
Verlon said it is a Precision ML... Hopefully the lock up box will work well enough to pick up s few tenths:D

Pretty sure it’s wiring... It’s reading dead nuts where I set it and is fairly stable currently. Rob suspects the drivers engine mount is shot and pulling on those wires, I’m pretending it’s not:rofl: I’ll look into it this week

I Por patched my mount back together and bolted it. No point in buying a new one just to modify it!

By your 1/8mi time you should be into the 11's easy. Should've done a "track fix" for the MAF and just maxed that bish out
