Welp, I made two runs today. The first one with the new mods I got a 9.19. I hosed a 5.7? Hemi (BAD).Ran off and left him. My dyno guy races here every week and he came running up to me: "nice going. That thing is flying for a quad cab. you can beat my LIGHTNING ". So after I got the grin of my face (like 10 minutes later) I got parked and had a crowd around my truck looking at the s/c and things. My dyno guy was going around talking stuff (he grew up here. been at this strip for 11 years).
Well after a cool off time I went back out. (someone had dumped oil on the track and we had to wait a bit). I spun out in first and second. The first run I had dry tires. The second one they got wet and my guy said I was lined up crooked. The announcer was talking s*** saying "if ya cant run a 9 in that dont bring it and said I ran a "ten something" (my wife was pissed" I told her not to worry I couldnt hear a damn thing in my HELMET (sheesh that thing is heavy),and I still almost beat a Cobra Mustang even after no traction.
So, all in all I had a great day. I plan on going back next week. I still cant anticipate the tree and I miss the takeoff everytime, but...I'll get it.
