Trucks first time at track

[MeanDmax]

So I took my truck out for some fun last night, didn't run to bad for first time out with it. Has everything in my signature, completely stock front end parts, 285 mickey thompsons. It ran consistant 13.20's at 103-105. Is this good, bad or ? The 60ft timers were not working so can't tell what was really happening, I spooled it up as much as I could with it still leaving nice and smooth, not much really. Truck had no lift pump, and also just a standard ppe tuner. CC/SB. Tried to run in 2wd but had a little slip and slide at 1/2 track. I didn't think it was that bad for what I had. Comments??

U should be way faster than that.... there is completley stock trucks with just a liftpump and tranny runnin 12.5's...

My next upgrade would be a liftpump and i say i'll hit 12's somewhwere around 110mph

Who does ur tuning?

looks like he has just a PPE standard.....

Guessing EFI/HP and a lift pump would really let you take advantage of your turbo/fueling setup. Oh and some tie rod sleeves wouldn't hurt....

 

[HogAssWild]

Yeah u definatly need evi and vet that thing fine tuned and it will be like another truck

With those mods EFI is a must, and def hook up with a good tuner , and def a lift pump . non the less as long as you had fun running the truck , that's all that matters

Get some sleeves and braces too.

Your MPH is up there man. Like everyone said get tie rod sleeves/solid centerlink. FWIW I ran 12.73 at 106.7 and 7300lbs with a 1.69 60'. With your mods you should have no troubles getting to low 12s or high 11s.

Ya, I'm building a built lb7 for this truck over the winter, but wanted to beat on this motor a bit. I busted my ass all last week to put all this stuff on, went realy good. Drove the truck into my shop on Monday night, drove it out on friday afternoon, directly to a pull, blew a hose off and went home. Then went to the strip and beat on it. Only gauge in the truck is a pyro, fuel pressure and boost unknown. As I said, I think it all worked out good for being stuck together and beat on. Need to finish everything now, work in progress, as funds allow, had a blast though.

Yes, I had only a standard PPE tuner, I sold my Hot + 2 a while back, so borrowed this one from a buddy. EFI is on the list.

Beef up your front end and EFI it and you will have a mean truck.
