Ya he has 18's on it..I was wrong he has ET heads and an LS7 block. He is running MT Dr's he's got a fogger set up on it but we are running just motor. On the bottle he put down 774rwhp

I'd be tossing a kit on there and not talking about it.

You should, with what you have done in your sig get out on him big time, a transbrake'd auto with your gearset should be leaving pretty hard I'd think.

Nice man.. he probably knew it wasn't worth running after he first run.

What was uis sixty, if you know.. that seems like a poor combo, even on 18s, I could be wrong thiugh.

Money?

my 60 was 1.54.

He was spinning bad tonight. Yes it's a 6 speed car.

Truthfully I think he red lit on purpose, he was at the 60 before my light went green I went and just rolled down the track. He wasn't acting like he really wanted to do after he seen how bad he was spinning and how hard my little leaf spring S10 was hooking.

Nice work. Winning is winning.

Now put a plate on that thing, keep it hush hush... go with a taller tire to get the gearing back into a spot that it will let you make the whole track and get him to come back, and this time put some good $ on it LOL.

HELL YES!!!!!! Thanks Guys!!! I am putting the nitrous on tomorrow, well most of it I ordered the 1 gallon fuel cell today and the pump. I am not sure what gears to go with tho. I am thinking 4.30's or 4.10's...then going to keep it on the low till him and i line up and run again. I had a couple friends standing by his lane they said he purged the the nitrous, I tried to get him to pull the bottle out but he wouldn't.

So what you're saying is you beat a C5r 427 equipped vette with nitrous on it?

Something is up, that cat can't drive worth a ****, or that car has got to have the god damn worst suspension in the land.... or that's one busted *** motor.

If I was the owner of that car I think I'd be leaving the keys in it somewhere in the hood hoping when I came back it was gone, then possibly go home and shoot myself.

No offense, your truck runs good no doubt about that for what it is... but seriously you're talking about something that should be making at least 800 rw

Not sure what side tire you have on the truck, but 4.56's or 4.30's with a 28 would be good with an auto for 1/8th mile stuff.
