Hey FatJack...I went to the Track Tonite...

[TNVIPER]

Your mph on the big end indicates a mid 11 second pass. Whats are you launching at rpm wise?

Around 2500 and I did bog slightly so i know I need to push a little harder...I had several people tell me the tires smoked a little as I launched so I know I had some slippage but a 1.72 60' is going to be hard to improve on. ....I only got one pass due to the crowd and this was my first time with DRs..so I am sure I can do even better.:burnout: ....

.....I doubt I will see a mid 11 at Bristol...this track is known by the local racers to be 2-4 tenths slower than other tracks.....maybe a 11.8 at best...:dontknow:

10-4 on the line...we would have had plenty of time to talk...what a crowd...I have never seen it that packed so early in the evening....there were 4 Lightnings that I saw....from what everyone told me my truck caused a lot of talk....I'm sure the lightning guys were taking notice from there little huddle at the far end of the staging area..

If you need any help with those Lightnings Larry, just give me a call

there are always 3-5 at the track....they huddle together at the far end....I smoked one of them with my former Charger SRT8 a couple yrs ago...........but there is one that shows up sometimes that runs high 10s...

Yeah, it's pretty easy to get those junkie fuggers to run good numbers

Thanks guys!!! I think I'll do some shopping...:rock:

 

[moparracing]

not just any 17" rim either.... american eagle, pacer & weld racing seem to be the only ones that fit.

go to discount/americas tire to get the american eagles for $129.00 a rim like i did.

Awesome 60ft for a heavy truck! Have you dynoed your 10 to see what it puts down?

It spent about 5 hrs on the dyno being tuned...max numbers were 625HP & 619TQ............fairly average for 10LBs FI but that is why I have always said dynoes are for tuning..the track tells the real story..
