Default Turbo Truck Again

Ok guys here is my truck again, I finally ran 10's well 10.96 @ 124 to be exact with 10psi, let me know what do you think of the launch? It was made with 6psi but it looks weak to me, next time I'll try to launch with 10psi if possible like some of you guys here recommended me to do so. But for now I'm waiting to get the cage install and then Nelson performance will be tuning it for 15psi and we'll see how it can do with it.

I know I didn’t get the tires hot enough but I had some problems with the meth spraying and bogging down the truck, so the truck started spinning when full boost came in but not too bad, the 60’ was a 1.63 but I had gotten a 1.58 with less boost off the line a run before that one and ran 11.00 @ 122

Thanks and here is the video of the pass.

Congrats!

The launch.. I certainly wouldnt have expected 10s with that launch. Looks like you got the tire... 10psi launch F.T.W!

Awesome run! It has got to be fun tooling around in a truck and dusting a supercharged car in a race. Congrats!

Thanks, yeah I hope to hit low 10 with 15psi, and the truck is lighter then stock, weight reduction would be basic, like rear bumper, spare tire, and of course I have latter bars instead of the leaf springs.

Badass!

That looks like Harlingen? I was born in McAllen and grew up in Palmview for awhile.

I plan on visiting my bro in the summer and running at that track.

This is in Edinburg like 40mins from Harlingen, I'm sure you'll like it.

Any more thoughts anyone? I wanted to try the Zex nitrous kit for turbos, part# 82218 its suppose to shut off when turbo has reach full spool, then starts spraying the meth. So I can get a bad azz 60’

I love that truck man!

It looks to me (and I'm no pro by any stretch) like you're not hitting the tires very hard. This could be because its so heavy and I'm used to seeing cars run but I've seen some pretty heavy cars leave plenty hard. Looks like it rolls out easy for a couple feet then takes off.

I hate to say it, because the truck looks so good, but you might have too much tire under it as well. They look like 30" slicks. I don't know what gear you have but for what its running now 28" would be plenty.

I'm sure this has been posted before but what does it weigh and have you ever dyno'd it? I'd really like to build one like that one day.

Thanks guys, yeah I might have too big of a slick, its actually a 31" tall tire, but I do have 4:11 gear ratio, next time I'll get the 2 step in and maybe I can launch with 10psi to see if that makes a difference.

The truck weights without driver 4280lbs, and no it has not been dynoed yet, which I'm looking into doing that next time I go to San Antonio.
