Now that your tow tuna doesn't beat brains race tuna:roflmao:
This^^^
Which end?:gay:
Keep tryin Steve. Maybe you should let someone else give er a rip down the 1320, you wouldn't be the first to let another driver pilot the best time out of a truck, hell, even Rob let his wife drive max'd'out, look how well she has done in it

I would never let someone drive my truck. Let alone take it down the drag strip. A wife would be an exception if they actually wanted to race and were good at it.
I think I'd let James run my truck down the strip, hell he goes to the track less the once a year and goes a second faster each time
Don't you have to be 18 to run your own truck at a strip without parents consent?
:roflmao:

Yep you do
just saying... If I see a guy run a 12.5 at the strip, I wouldn't approach him asking if he would run my truck down the strip :rof
Yep you do
pretty sure he meant someone he knew not some random..
Still I don't know if you can really improve time by changing drivers when reaction time isn't measured. If reaction time is added to the total time (like competitions) then sure a better driver will be faster. But at test n tunes and midnight drags, when reaction time doesn't mean crap, I don't think it would help.

, lemme know when you want it to run a 10 :happy2:if the driver knows what hes doing and has a feel for the truck, it sure as hell can make a difference. you can keep denying it all you want but ive personally seen it done by steve hopping in his buddies truck (sean) and dropping .2 off his time to get that 12 sec pass sean wanted. Kat also ran casper faster than Pat down the track long ago. You still got lots to learn
so take you mind off reaction time cause there is a hell of alot more variables a driver causes that can increase or decrease time
Now you know how I feel when im stuck at 12.15 with 700hp
Don't feel too bad, I made over 900 rwhp and my best was a 12.009 at 12x+ mph with a .20x 60 ft I belive. I was was disappointed to say the least, I thought drag racing was easy, lol. But I think it takes as much setup as pulling does...
Some people are much better at staging and launching. Launch makes a big difference in times.
Some guys have a much better feel for when the truck is in the sweet spot and ready to launch than others. When I started racing people told me to try and launch with a certain PSI on the boost gauge but I've found that results are more easily tracked/monitored/replicated with RPM.
I would let a capable and trusted person drag my truck before I ever let them on the street with it
You wouldn't though...Why, worried about breakage, or pride?
If the truck is put together well enough it won't matter who drives it
unless it's a matter of not wanting to be shown up as a driver. I was in no way saying Steve is not a good driver, we all know his truck has a faster pass in it and I think Steve might be letting his nerves get the best of him on the line, cuz he knows his truck is faster too, and it's causing some pressure anxiety at the line, basically I think he wants it too bad, and is forcing mishaps to happen out of the gate, like missing a three foot putt for birdie.
And man, there is a whole helluva lot more to a fast truck than the parts that make it...
but I was kind of joking with Steve when I wrote thatEhh, kinda...
I would do a straight centerlink if it wasn't already impossible to turn in my truck lol.
And yes I have made hundreds of passes at the strip and as James said made the fastest pass in Sean's truck the first pass I made, and that was my first time driving that truck ever.
Increasing and decreasing the potency of launch is the easy part, getting the truck to cooperate is the hard part.
