well Rick can not make the race, the CTSV did not get ready so it will be the SRT-10 only, with video, SRTBrad will be there.

Rick the Phoenix pool guy will be there with a Camaro he is running. SRTBrad will be there for filming if any of you California VTCOA guys want to run. I will have the SRT-10 and the CTSV there making passes.

Trainman will be testing the SRT-10 on sunday April 29. Any california people are welcome to come out and run too, or watch. Gates open at 8am , racing probably from 10 am till 5pm. Hoping to work on a better 60' and get that high 10 second run, which is the goal. Current best is 11.34 @ 127.11.

I agree with your advice, I tried to get the guy who built the new suspension, and he did come over to the house for a preliminary set up, but unfortunately he wasn't able to be at the track, hopefully next time he will be there. Thanks again, and I really like your truck, it's what I tried to...

Sorry, I had no idea that was a Lightning, and I thought you were in an SRT-10, with a manual, and the video I played from your posting was an in cab video that looked like you were shifting...so I showed you my shifting, pretty close to the same sound. I was complementing your truck, and I...

Nice run at 11.1 @ 124....Do I hear a supercharger? Here is an in-cab video of my shifting, but this is with the stock engine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxeMhlfiTPg

Huh...$54,000......Nope, no where near that, I got lots of help from the builders and development of new ideas, so , it was a lot, but probably less than 1/2 of your estimate....I'm old, retired and have the means....so it's fun for me! Probably the Fastest NA SRT-10 on the planet in the 1/4...

No, brand new tires, still just learning the power band, I used to launch at 4500 rpm, the new motor makes peak torque about 4900 rpm( about 750 ft. lbs) and it makes over 550 from 2300 to past 6200, so with only 3 practice launches it's still a learning process. Still stock axles and rear end...

Yes, ladder bars. Don't know much about suspension, coil overs with 14 way adjustable shocks, first 2 runs set at about 7 clicks, last run at 10 clicks. Still have to learn the sweet spot and the best rpm to leave the line. The only car I paid attention too was the Demon Challenger, his best...

That's no fun.....but you're right.....

Sorry for the wait guys. I was so tired last night and so sore today (changing 4 wheels on 2 vehicles twice) on this old 71 year old was tough. I had mixed results, new best times for the SRT-10, but not as quick as I had hoped. I got to make 3 passes in the truck and 2 passes in the CTSV...

Spankin Time Motorsports is having a private event at Famoso Drag Strip tomorrow, saturday Jan. 27. Gates open at 8am, racing from 10am til 5pm. It is limited to 100 vehicles, event is full but you can come out and watch, should be very interesting. I am taking the 6-speed manual CTSV and the...

I recommend the 4.56 , much better around town and at the 1/4 mile.

Thanks Brad, best video ever.

Yes, 3.73 rear axle, there are no aftermarket ratios for the rear. I don't have the exact dyno numbers for the new engine for different tunes, but I do have them for the stock engine. Previous dyno numbers for the LSA with an LS9 cam, stock heads unported , stock blower unported, 102 throttle...

Truck did not get finished, still had idle issues, but we are close. Something about a map sensor issue.

Car is full weight, about 4250 lbs, I'm 215, so close to 4500 lbs race weight. 416 cubic inch, Trick Flow 255 heads ported by Greg Good, blower ported by Greg Good, BTR stage 2 cam, American Racing headers, no cats, stock muffler. Flex fuel conversion. Can run on 91 octane, and E85, Race on C85...

The Lightning had NT (no time) on his window, must be a street racer trying to keep his time a secret.

Actually Brad , that's a 56 chevy. And thanks for my video....awesome!

New personal best with the CTSV....10.29 @ 140.55....Brad will have the video in a few days
