Beech thats a real cool video! Now the question is guys, how do I get me 60' times down? Launch harder I presume, but if all four tires spin what do I do? Lower my pressure? I ended up running with 35psi in the tires and they didnt spun but I didnt launch as hard. I want to say 1900rpm? What rpm should I be leaving at? Thanks a lot guys. Been a long time coming and I am still pumped from the event!

thank you...it was a quick job and shaky as all hell because im terrible at holding a camera steady but it came out ok....wish i had more pickup footage but i was racing at the same time...

Leave at as high of rpms as you can with spinning the tires. 2500+?

x2 man you just gotta feel it out every track ad every day will be different...i doubt you'll get her to hook at 2500+ though

Chris,

Congrats, the 60/Ft killed you.........knock that down to a 1.70 or so and you have 12.80's all day long.

From the times you were getting consistent ET's, that would make a hell of a bracket truck........:D

13.1-13.2 isn't a bad time if your not stripping the truck, with some practice you'll be hitting the 12's sooner than you think.

I launch by boost psi and rpm, depending on track prep sometimes you need a softer launch, I have seen 4/10's in time lost due to weather and bad prep on the track, sometimes my truck ran 12.6-12.7 all day long and the next time out 12.9-13.1's, it just depends on the day and track.

;)

x2 and just so you know yesterday at etown they knew the trucks were coming and didn't prep worth of shit....if you go there on a normal night you'll have much better grip

however the good thing about yesterday was that the air was = to 60ft BELOW sea level :)

Ok thanks for the help. Cant wait till next time. Thinking about taking the 20's off and running my 265's on stock steel wheels. Do you think that will help at all?

I didnt know track prep would change it that much Tony, I knew weather was a big one, but if it effects it that much, then there is still hope for 12's after all. You should hear my father now Tony, he wants his truck back! He said he almost fell out of his chair at work when I called him and told him how fast I ran my first run out :spit:. Thanks for the awesome tuning!
