Yeah, this thing is a real sleeper. I have never run an 1/8 only the 1/4. Don't think I would do so well in the 1/8. Although the lag is so minimal as to be almost unnoticeable, it really starts to fly around 4,500 revs. I have a 3200 stall that helps alot though. Using my time slip, I calculated my 0-60 mph using the 'Wallace' calculator .. www.wallaceracing.com and it came out to be just less than three seconds!!!

dam if 3 seconds is accurate thats one hell of a truck!

3 seconds is super car fast.

Not just mine of course. Check out that 'Wallace' site and enter the figures from your time slip and you'll see just how fast our trucks are. My buddy checked his track times with his ZR1 and it came out to be 3.5 seconds which kinda confirms that the 'Wallace' caculator is pretty accurate.

So let me get this straight. 1/8 mile is a waste of time because it goes by to fast, but 0-60 now thats important. :yourock:

I'm not the one who said that the 1/8th is a waste of time. I simply said that I don't think my truck would do so well in the 1/8th. It's a beast to launch and despite very little lag, doesn't really go nuts until around 4,500 revs. My previous S/C lightning was a rocket off the line and I used to regularly pull 1.7's in the 60ft. I quoted the 0-60 mph as a standard gauge to compare with other performance vehicles.
