  1. Thanks man. Yeah, spinning is definitely a problem! I lined up for my last run of the day directly after the 11.07 run, had my best dry burnout of the day, launched and something to do with my drivetrain broke. The elusive 10 second run just didn't happen today for me, but if I can get her to hook better, I'm guessing a 10.8 is doable...not bad for a stock short block on 22" street tires! ...and your setup should get you well into the 10's for sure
  2. Here's a short vid of one of my runs today at Mo-Kan Dragway. This place kicks ass! No roll bar, no worries, they'll let you run all day long! Anyway, here's my results on 305/40/22 street tires, spinning very bad outta the hole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA266CGp0Vw&feature=youtu.be
  3. Welcome back buddy, glad to see you're getting her wrapped up FINALLY

    Engineers...geesh! Anyway, I'm getting pretty bad wheel spin now even with my massive 22's and rear springs clamped, so I ordered some limit straps for the front end. Weather's supposed to be rainy and shitty for the track so I'm going to shoot for Sunday the 8th...can't wait!!
  5. Nice try, I own the company and, unlike you, don't work with wood. My only job is to keep my employees busy. However, it's easy to understand how a broke gay guy like you can't understand the fundamentals of a business owner since being broke usually = lack of intelligence
  6. I wasn't talking about your gay ad on Craigslist, but maybe that explains why you're broke. Great to hear you're working HARD every day ! ...And BTW, stop PM'ing me about your gay services ad, I don't appreciate that!
  7. It's awesome how you advertise on your status, "Being Broke Sucks", most probably sell your SS because you're broke and can't afford it, go out and buy a POS Ford to save a few bucks, then become a hater because you're broke and jealous. Here's some advice for what it's worth, get a job - if you already have a job, get a better one that pays more money so you can afford a few toys. Maybe then you'll change your attitude about people like me who work hard for nice things
  8. You nailed it Jason! It felt great to shit while reading these comments! Nice work bro, way to put a dick bag in his place
  9. Damn straight, I will race anyone who challenges me. I've said it before and I'll say it again...at least I have a SSS to race Mr. NoMoreSS

    Good point. It just seems a bit weird they would have 3/4" hose attaching to 1/2" inlets since cooler IAT's = better performance no matter how many RPM's you're spinning it. I'd be very interested to know what you find out from them and if/how the inlets can be made larger.

    Hope they had a good reason to choke down the flow like that ...that sucks Bro, your work bench looks as cluttered as mine!

    0-115 without ice and 0-109 with I posted this a while back, but here it is again...

    Thank you. The Maggie is awesome but can become a money pit if you want to keep going faster like me, lol Well, today I swapped back to my old Bosch pump and the IAT's were running 10+ degrees higher than the Varimax! ...so much for my theory. It's obviously the coolant sitting inside the ice box and the lengthy runs of plumbing. ...Great for the track but not so great for driving around town I did try out the ice box today for the very first time and it worked freekin awesome! IAT's went from 100 to 77 instantly and only went up to around 102 after a wot pull. The wot pull I did before that with no ice, they went from 100 to 162 with the Bosch pump. Ambient was about 62
  14. That's a good lookin truck you have! 14.9's not such a bad time. Before I went crazy on mine a couple of years ago I ran a 14.2 with headers, exhaust, stall and CAI, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to shave that down a second or two.
  15. If you can swing it, Wilwoods are great quality!

    Yeah I remember reading your awesome build thread. Hope you can make it to the track this fall and post up your results...good luck!

    Thanks Jason! I know I've said it before, but I'm jealous of your truck too...love that blue man! Now that you've got that Denali lookin sweet, I'd love to see you slap a Maggie on there! A 10 second run would surprise me, but I'm honestly not getting my hopes up because of my big ass wheels. Although, I was really surprised this morning when my times improved so much just from the second update Zip gave me. I'm anxious to see what he has up his sleeve for the track this Friday! I just hope they're cool there and let me make a few passes - one and done would really suck!

    Before I added the big exchanger and pump, mine was around 10 degs above ambient just driving around town...now it's around 30. It was 58 degrees when I made my run this morning but IAT was 88. The only reason I haven't changed my setup is because I want to see if the ice box works at the track, but more than likely it will be coming off next year so I can experiment with different routing/pump options since it's much more of a street truck. I may go back to the bosch pump in the same location under the battery and keep the big exchanger. One would think that the engineers at Magnuson experimented with different options as part of the R&D and already chose the most efficient option, but it doesn't hurt to try.

    Varimax. My IAT's are actually higher since I put the big heat exchanger with fans and the varimax pump on, but my setup is designed for use of the icebox with much longer lengths of tubing than I originally had. I think that varimax may be pumping too fast if that's even possible. When I hit the track this week, I'll try out the icebox to see if it makes a difference

    Yeah man, IAT was 88 then 134 after the pull - no ice in my icebox. That's from the pull I just made in the vid below 0 - 112 in 9.32 on 15psi, 0 - 59 in 3.297, 0 - 101 in 7.578, 0 - 104 in 8.187...holy shit, it's getting faster lol, I'm still smiling bro ...just made this one after Zip sent me over my second update tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_RWNQcnPBw&feature=youtu.be 3" rip pulley and new, larger belt vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJX6PgBa2_I&feature=youtu.be

    Thanks Jason, it feels like a beast too! As mentioned, it's not dialed in yet but for the very first 0 - 100+ run, I'm happy with the numbers compared to last year. Last year around this time: 0 - 60 @ 3.985, 0 - 99 @ 8.884, 0 - 105 @ 9.992. Respectively, I bettered my last year times by .501, 1.541 and 1.555 Also, I still have my old 3" pulley on there which needs to be shimmed out even more than it already is and is causing a belt squeak/slip AND that run was with the cutouts closed I'm hoping the 3" rip pulley and open cutouts will get me a little more at the track...I may even decide to slap on the 2.8

    She's home! Now just waiting on a re-tune. Here's a little taste of those e-cutouts with remote open close https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq0ljp_frwE&feature=youtu.be
