CenWaSS Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well guys, my first experience at the track with the radix was not so good. I ran absolutely terrible! My best time was 14.43 with a 2.03 60ft I just dont get it? My best trap speed was 93mph?????? Im really going backwards now I think. Track officials says times are now corrected per NHRA rules and set at 22 or 2300 feet above sea level. Outside temps were about 83ish. Truck feels strong, way stronger than before the radix. Im just very disappointed and a lil upset. Where do I go from here.....anyone want an SS I just may have the slowest SS on here Anyone have any ideas? I went with the following other vehicles and their runs were slow as well... SRT8 Challenger = a best of 13.85 Lighting went 13.50 (lots of mods)...I was there last year when he went 13.55 stock? Modded Harley Davidson (G teched 13.4x) and ran 14.34 Stock HD went 15.0xx So we were all disappointed. Anyone know how accurate those G techs are, just curious?

Wheatley Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 If you did it on a g tech,take it to the track.I do not trust those g techs to be honest,but that is me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran the 14.43 at the track. I was questioning the G-tech cuz my buddy ran 13.4xx with his G-tech and only ran a 14.34 at the track...big difference.

Fireman31 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 still your mph should be alot higher. Agreed, I feel you may have some tuning issues, seems like you are getting out of the hole okay but are really lacking up top. Time to run some logs so you can find out exactly what is happening!

I havent done anything else to my truck except added another tune from Nelson. From the seat of my pants it doesnt feel any different? I just dont understand, times went up after the radix WTF!!! Oh well, I see another toy coming in the (hopefully) near future.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
