Default New best for the tow truck

Tonight went pretty good other than blowing my charge pipes off three more times. I found the limit of my boost controller at 13.5psi but I managed to get my new personal best. Here is the rundown of the best pass and backed it up on the next run.

60' 1.662
330' 4.724
1/8 7.336
MPH 93.77
1000' 9.616
1/4 11.557
MPH 115.98


60' 1.656
330' 4.722
1/8 7.344
MPH 93.43
1000' 9.632
1/4 11.580
MPH 115.66

Thanks Mike. I wanted to push it up to 15psi but the boost controller had other ideas. I'm pretty happy with it considering all of the extra weight of the 4l80e and the little 2k towing stall converter. I think I could pick up a lot if I didn't have stock heads on this motor.

Race weight was somewhere around 5300-5400lbs.

It was pretty cool last night. I had people stopping me in the return lane and pits to ask what the hell was done to it. I killed a C6 on the last run and bunch of bike guys came over to me laughing their asses off.

I think there is more in this setup if I make a few changes. I think a 3.5 inch downpipe would help me a lot. I'm going to change boost controllers and see if I can get the boost up around 16psi.

Thanks Bruce. I will be playing my banjo in Va by Oct 23rd so you won't have to worry about me. I'm sure there will be plenty of videos for me to watch.

It pulled a 5k lbs trailer for 2k miles last week. I think its plenty reliable. Fuel efficiency is another topic. 6 hours is a little too far to drive for a dyno day.

Gas trucks are pretty easy to make fast too. The only thing I would like better about a diesel would be the gas milage.
