First Time At The Track W/ Bolted 05 Sd... 14.3

[RCNap12986]

Hey guys,

 

I made it out to New England Dragway last night for some baseline runs before the cam swap this weekend.

I ran on the stock 17's and the truck has a K&N intake, ARH 1 7/8" headers (definitely overkill at the moment), silverado SS GMPP borla cat back, and a wheatley live street tune. Only weight reduction I did was removing the tail gate. DA was about -500 last night, I know there will be better weather to come before they shut down for the year.

 

My fastest run of the night looked like this:

 

.157........RT

2.151......60'

6.022......330'

9.281......1/8

77.21......MPH

11.998....1000'

14.387....1/4

94.18......MPH

 

Highest trap speed looked like this:

 

.108.......RT

2.210......60'

6.069......330'

9.251......1/8

77.48......MPH

12.020....1000'

14.397....1/4

94.65......MPH

 

I tried staling it up a little on this run and it definitely hurt me. Had I stuck to my guns I think I would have pulled out a 14.2 seeing as I trapped .5 MPH better and my 60' was .06 slower... but you win some you lose some.

 

My next time out will be with a TBSS intake manifold and a custom EPS 222/226 cam. I dont have my converter installed yet, but that will be going in shortly as well. With that and better weather im gunning for a 13.5 or better and as close to 100 MPH as possible.
