Built for the street, no cage, etc... but I did manage to pull 1 pass out the back door, then had my wrist band cut and sent home.
Ran a few 1/8 mile passes to see how well the 3rd gear mod would work. Turns out it is flawless. cut 1.6 to 1.5's 60' all day. thing was dead hooking after a rainy morning waiting for the track to open.

Best pass 10.1@133--6.54@107.9--1.54 60'





best full pass

Badass!!!How did you fix your wastegate issues?

 

Impressive times. I would never think that it only weighs 3700 pounds. I would think it would be allot more then that. What kind of boost did it take to go that fast?

 

Launching on the foot brake @10#. Then stayed at 17#. To fix my previous boost creep issues. I welded a small stainless turning vane at my gate location to direct more gas flow out the gate. I also increased the size of my gate exit tubing. I ran the 12# tial springs in. Prob could of had a heavier spring setup.

As for the weigh the only reductions I have is plastic fuel cell under the bed and radiator support cut/modified to fit turbo. The rest of the truck is bone stock. I've seen a few other long wheel bases weigh the same.

 

Congrats on the killer run. I love the IC plumbing on your setup.

 

That thing is badass man, you did a really nice job with it. Very clean setup

 

very nice. fast truck. I wish I had that kind of room under the hood

 

pretty cool, I would have thought heavier
I bet that surprises some people

 

video from track yesterday...10/11/14

 

Truck did awesome man. Next will be 20+ psi and put it in the 9's.

 

Ummmm, the VW Diesel Jetta in the right lane WAS HAULIN ***** AND ROLLIN COAL!!!

Not to steal your thunder...great pass and good job with the truck

 

I can't believe it doesn't weigh more! Great times.

Is that 93 octane and methanol injection for fuel?

What RPM do you shift it at?

 

Yep pump 93 & M1, shifting just over 6K

 

Thanks for the tune, heavier gate spring and 9er here we come

 

Nice job! Looks like you got tired of the hand shaker in there
Should go 9's easy with a little more launch and boost. A Yank 3400 converter would also improve ET and mph I bet.

 

Nice job! Cool truck.
Going to be satisfied with a low 10? Or are you looking to get your wrist band cut off again?

This is a very cool build. Congrats, def a sleeper. Gives me the motivation I need for my truck.

 

Thanks for the cam stocker... Yea sold the Muncie, it wasn't as cool as I thought it would be. This 80 and Hugh's 3000 verter is awesome on the street. Yea 9 sec pass is in reach.

 

what is your rear gear and what did you do to the driveshaft to make it live ??

 

3:73 gear. Mini spool & moser axles. 4" custom steel drive shaft 1piece. Its 61" long
