ginnie ss Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Wanted to see what the truck could do STOCK... The weather was clear, and the local drag strip (Thompson, OH) was having a test-n-tune day. We have a Flowmaster BUT my son told me it was the wrong one. He wants us to run two 40 Series instead of the one made for the truck. We were a little worried on the way out there but it turned out pretty good. We ended up getting there late so we ran right off the street and went 15.1 @ 87.6 with a 2.159 60'. At the line the truck was brought up against the converter in OD with tow-haul on. We let it cool for about 30 min and ran again. This time we left the line normal and went 14.987 @88.64 with a 2.18 60'. Despite the second run being faster, I think the truck liked brake-torquing off the line because of the better 60' on the first run. We think the second run was better b/c it had a chance to cool down (higher mile per hour - more power). Wish we could have got there earlier. Here is the slip... give me a day to put the movie up... Well I guess the next step is to find a way to put this on My son seems to have good luck with them on the Honda's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m396 #00-011 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Glad to finally see some sub 15 sec runs for the SS. The summer runs on 15.4-15.6 was worring me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcairns Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Good run Ginnie. You can be "one of the guys" if you want to, but you husband might not like that turn of events . So that was with the spinners on? Can't imagine those would be ideal for drag racing I bet they were spinning pretty good by the end of the track .
