Default I have a 9 second truck!

I haven't raced the Sonoma in awhile so I decided to take a pass in it. Basically a stock truck with UD pulleys, k&n, and exhaust. Ran 9.80@70, 2.11 60' (on motor of course). I've run 8.70/77 on juice before. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Anyway what does 9.80 1/8th work out to, low 15s? The full size V8 trucks running in the low 10s last night. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Default Re: I have a 9 second truck!

According to my little handy dandy calculator deal it should run 15.28 in the quarter. On the bottle it should run 13.57 in the quarter.

I've got a little S10 running 6.90s on drag radials. Full interior, exhaust, bench seat and a column shifter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Congrats on the times. What does your truck have in it?

Later,
Wes

It's no rocket ship but I guess mid/low 15s for ~$500 isn't all that bad. I was carrying a lot of extra weight with me too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I took the juice off for some warranty work but I usually run a wet kit with a 75-125 shot.
