shadowsniper3006 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 the DA at the track right now is -630 feet. If this holds for tomorrow, there's going to be some real nice ETs to be posted. I'll be calling the track tomorrow to make sure they will still be open, seeing as how we have snow on the ground again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Roknic Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Went to the strip tonight.......the truck is pretty fast, very happy with the results 60....1.875 1/8...8.400 1/4...13.203 mph...101.10 have some traction issues, time for some nitto drag radials....see if I can squeeze a couple more tenths out of her had a great time....Thanks for everything Brad.

shadowsniper3006 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) there is still more in this truck. 13.2 is not where it will end. It needs to lose some weight, get traction and this is still the dyno tune. The tune was not tweaked at all for racing, since i could not figure out what i was doing wrong..... but if i'm right, this is now the second fastest stock cubed N/A SSS Edited April 10, 2010 by shadowsniper3006 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detjoe Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Brad or Joe how much air are you running in your tires at the track? same front rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Joe, i run 45-50 in both front and back. Joe had his set at 45 but was spinning them so we were going to lower them but ran out of time before track close. With my truck i run 40 psi in the rear airbags to stop weight transfer and keep the weight over the front tires, but guys are telling me the front end still jumps so next time i'll run 80 in the bags. But i always start the night at 50 psi or so in the tires and work down if need be. Another thing i do is line up outside the groove on the track. I'll line up where i don't see any rubber on the line and hope there is still traction compound in that area. Everyone says line up in the groove but once a car spins its tires it takes all the traction compound with it and puts down rubber on the line, then you have to launch on cold rubber. one more thing to try to get traction is load the converter. If the track prep is real bad I'll load the converter as high as i can so it doesn't flash on the line. A 3800 launch to a 4100 launch can help a bit.
