Mike Frey Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 hey guys, i decided to run the truck last friday night.. gosh was it cold and slick. first two runs a ran mid 15's at 97mph cuz i about hit the guard rail off the line. of course i was on 20's with street tires so it did not like traction haha. i plan on getting some radials for my 17 stockers. but the real question is here... my third and final pass i avoided the wet box and did not do a burnout, and stalled the truck up to 3k. and when the light turned green i just let off the brake instead of smashing the pedal threw the floor, it still spun so when it stopped i mashed it. this was my time.. do you think i could hit low to mid 13's with radials, or if i hooked?? and this is on a mail order tune from blackbear. 60ft --- 2.36 1/8et--- 9.24 1/4et--- 14.23 1/4mph--- 98.12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hit the guard rail?!! Ouch. Your 60ft times are sub optimal for sure. Get those where it should be and mid 13's in the same weather should be easily done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahoBLKss Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 like krambo said with good tires i think 13's wont be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 A burnout is good to clean the tires and mildly heat them, trust me I've ran about every brand of street tire. Bringing the converter to 3000 however isn't going to help getting it to hook. Go off idle, especially when you have a traction problem. What converter did you do? What tires are you going to buy?

It's a 3200 stall from PATC. Carbon fiber lock up clutch and stuff. And I was thinkin mickey Thompson et street radials on my 17s. 295/45/17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slogibbs Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 13's for sure with traction. What was the DA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNap12986 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 With a converter like that and traction you should be able to get about another hald second off that 60' if not more. That will equate to almost a full second off your ET. Mid-low 13's are in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
