Been trying forever to get this thing in the 6's on pump gas. This is the second .01 Ive got trying to do it. Went .0X all weekend at two different tracks and couldnt make it happen. Pretty sure Randy got a vid or my 7.01 vid and Rob (Foose) has a vid of one of my runs from Bowman.

Damn that's stout on pump gas, but your mph is down 1-2mph for 6.9x. You still running meth right? Put some more timing in it.

It still has meth and didnt like 14*. Started detonating.

I ran 6.8 with only 2 more MPH. My truck has always trapped slow for the ET.

Lol, that's still damn quick in a fat pig of a truck!

Bradleyrj · 11-14-2011, 10:11 AM

You know, you could put a 50 shot on it and it would still be "pump gas"...

One thing I have noticed watching trucks in drag racing is that mph seems to suffer once speeds get over 70-75 mph as compared to cars which are more aerodynamically friendly.

Almost.. When you get pissed and decide to sell that motor, tell me.

Wheels and tires and interior.

Yeah I can shave a metric shit ton of weight but then you start getting into the grey area of whether or not its a street car.

Front bogarts
Remove front bumper core
Remove A/C
Remove CC
Tubular LCA's
Manual rack
Remove passenger seat
Kirkey seat
Roll pan
Remove the 300# of audio equipment that's currently installed
Reinstall the much lighter stock hood

The more extreme reduction would be an aluminum block, TH400 and 9".

Derek · 11-14-2011, 10:42 AM

I understand where you are coming from.

spdracr0 · 11-14-2011, 10:56 AM

I have some front bogarts, that would get you there..

Bradleyrj · 11-14-2011, 11:02 AM

I think removing any stereo stuff behind the seats, wheels/tires, and stock hood would help a great deal. There has to be someone that makes a tubular lightweight bumper support to save some weight.

I don't think if you put the STOCK hood back on and removed the AFTERMARKET stereo that anyone could argue that's it's not a street car

I agree though that is hauling ass for over 5k lbs.

Bradleyrj · 11-14-2011, 11:10 AM

What looks good is the short time. A 1.52 is a pretty decent time for any street car, much less a 5k truck.

Derek · 11-14-2011, 11:23 AM

Lol talking about reducing drag made me think of this.

I'd say that's damn impressive for a truck!

jmd · 11-14-2011, 12:00 PM

take a laxative next time before the run. the weight loss may push you to it.

j/k. strong run on pump gas.
