56chevywagon Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well, I'm got my tune about half way to where it should be so I thought I'd run it out to the track for a couple of runs just to see how close I'm getting...If any AZ people want to meet up out there, I'm going to Speedworld Motorplex this Saturday the 14th and I should be there around 7-8pm. I'll get my times posted up soon. Here is the website for the track in case you need to fond oput where it is: http://www.speedworldmotorplex.com/ Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56chevywagon Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 OK, I'm back from the track and I'm pretty satisfied for still needing to finish the tune...The tune is only about half done...I've only worked the VE table, nothing else yet. Here was my best time. R/T: .183 60' : 2.018 330': 5.822 660': 8.971 MPH: 78.519 990': 11.614 E.T.: 14.022 MPH: 98.452 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF-03-SS Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Your happy w/ that time? If you were in my part of the county you would be low 13's or high 12's w/ that set-up. Time for a road trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 He has a stock radix, with a stock radix tune...that time is not that bad considering no converter, headers, custom etc. Dcairns ran a 13.92 with nothing but a radix out of the box, so I would say he should be happy with that time. Once he gets a custom tune, converter, drops a couple of pulley sizes, etc. then he should see low 13's. I'm noticing it takes ALOT of work to get a radix into the 12's.

56chevywagon Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I also forgot to mention that it was about 106* out when I left the track at 10pm and I had to drive it about 40 miles just to get there so the truck was already hot and I started running within 30 minutes of arriving...also like I said, the tune is nowhere close to being done...I had what was supposed to be a stock tune but the truck would not run with that tune without pinging like crazy and sounding like a rod was gonna come out of the side of the block...As for being happy with the times...No....but I am satisfied with the progress that I have made with the tune...this thing would have been alot slower than it was if I was ignorant and tried to run it with that stock tune...in fact it probably would have been in my garage with a bent rod or melted piston from detonation...I am still working on the tune and hope to have alot better times to come...

JF-03-SS Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I am just saying that there is alot more in your set-up to be had. I am not bashing by any means. I am green w/ envy that you are s/c'ed. I just compare my mods to a truck w/ a s/c and our times are not much different. If you ran your truck here it would run at least .5 faster as is.

A 14 flat in those conditions with your mods is great. Most people don't experience 90* at the track and you are over 100*. Cooler weather and further tune tweeking will get that puppy mid 13's no problem. Keep us posted on your progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56chevywagon Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Will do...I haven't had a chance to log since that track night but I'll get back to it really soon. Thanks Krambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
