I agree I would like to line them up. Have you raced a stock L before? If so how did it go?

Let's just say I have seen him get on it before. The truck runs strong. If it let's him shift it runs even stronger on top end.

I've ran a red one one time, had no problem at all, but i honestly think the guys truck was a little weak compared to even a stock lightning, really wasn't much of a race to really comment on, i think he was having problems.

Gotcha, that's cool. From my experience I know the SRt10 Rams put down between 400-430rwhp and 440-450rwtq on average and weigh a hair over 5000lb's. My L put down 400rwhp and 523rwtq and weighs about 4750lb's (4670 stock). So it should be a good race I would think.

I have a 99 Z28 6speed. I have not had much luck with it yet. The car ran a best of 8.58 @83.67 with a 2.01 60'. That was with a cat back on it, everything else was stock. Now I almost have my true duals done. My headers came in today. I also have a lid and filter now. Im gonna see what she will do maybe next Sunday at shadyside.

My car seems to have no power down low. I dont know why its easy to bog it down. Once the rpm's get past 4k it pulls hard.

Cool, sounds great. Not bad times either for a stocker. Good luck at the track man. What did your bike run? I never got to watch anything run that day. That's about the only thing I hate about running my car. I never get to watch.

I only run a 7.20. I have taken the lowering link off of it and put my factory gearing back. I was just clowning that night. Them ricers like to see stunts so every now and then I will cut a fool. I once run a 7.44 at 94mph on the back wheel at about 10 oclock position. Bike was on the back tire as soon as it power wheelied in 1st and I just modulated the throttle keeping it at the pivot point. Since only my back tire tripped the beam I was probably going faster. Sometimes I will walk it all the way to the 1/4 mile mark at Greer and sit it down around 120 or so. I haves settled down alot on the past year and even more since I got my Z. Poor ol rice rocket hardly gets any love now, thats why I let her out Thursday.

BTW, I will bring it to Shadyside one day and run some 6.80's atleast maybe 70s at around 107. If only I didnt weigh 250lbs.
