Track Time Finally

[Houser04lly]

Well I finally made it to our 1/8 mile track here ...

Best ET

8.37
1.84 60 FT
80 mph

Maybe shed some more weight next time and play with the tire pressure and what not to get that 60FT down and hopefully get a 8 Flat or even deeper that would be great.. But im pretty happy with the times considering it was the first run ever with her.. All aside it was a blast like always ... :thumb:

It's amazing how much your 60ft changes your run....

Example... I went:

1.87 60ft
8.5 1/8
81.4 mph

So I would have been slowly running you down, yet your slightly quicker 60ft put you ahead in the 1/8. Interesting stuff. Stock 5 speed I take it? not bad! :thumb:

Yes stock allison and 5th gear is gone .. maybe throw the stockers on just for the track and try and shed some weight.. and stock shocks with 83K miles:woott:

Great run for what little you have done to the truck.

90% of your ET is in your 60' IMO. Get it down into the 1.6's and enjoy some 7.9-8.0 passes.

so if someone goes from a 2.0 60' to a 1.8. what does that do to their ET? or a 1.8 to a 1.6? etc...

Usually you get twice what you pick up in your 60ft. Say you drop 1 tenth on your 60, you can "usually" expect twice that off your ET. Of course that is just an estimation from what I've seen.

That's why I wish I could have dropped my 60ft down a little.. on the street it holds 10-12psi, at the track it spun above 5psi... our track sucks needless to say. But I feel a 12 second pass wasn't impossible with a really solid launch...

Thank you u I appreciate that .. and yes I agree 60 ft has alot to do with it . My first pass of the night I ran a 8.64 with a 60 ft of 2.00 or something like that so I dropped to a 8.37 with a 60 of 1.84 at 80 mph. I did a pass of 82 mph at 8.44 but my launch sucked and my 60 ft was horrible but I still ran a 8.44 that would have prob been a decent time if I had a great 60 ft.. we will see this friday .. I need a roll pan and get rid of that bumper

I'm waiting for the new clutches to be done testing and I am ready for an Allison overhaul
