Default So Close!

I put a 3.5 inch downpipe on and travel limiters on the truck and picked up a little. Here is my best pass from last night.

60' 1.593
330' 4.630
1/8th 7.004
MPH 98.16


I can't believe I couldn't get that extra .005 to hit my goal for this year.

Thanks Dan. I haven't really sean E85 around here at all. They use corn for liquore down here instead of putting it in there gas tank.

I was only launching at 4psi last night to test out the limiters that I made. They held up so I might be able to hook a couple more psi off the line if I go again this year.

Pretty sure that turbo is about maxed out. Time for an upgrade and drag radials.

This has got to be the coolest truck I ever rode in. Doesn't look like anymore than a stock 1/2 ton truck. Awesome sleeper!!!

Congrats on the new best Kris! Next year the goal should be 6.50.

Thanks guys. I doubt I will get a chance to run again this year. I'm sure the turbo has just enough left to get into the 6.90's but I didn't want to push past 15psi on pump gas.

If I can make some cash over the winter I will be shooting for mid 6's next year. All I need is a different cam, turbo, heads and tires. LOL

I'm still really happy to push this 5,200lb pig as far as I have this year.
