I watched your video. Cool truck! What was the et ?

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

1.50
6.44@108.03
10.17@129.60

It definitely should be picking up more than 21mph on the back half, going to play with locking the converter, better intercooler pump, and some more timing. But don’t want to hurt the stock ls3 pistons. Still chasing the 9.99 slip.

New best!!

1.62-60ft
4.62-330ft
7.18-1/8 @ 95.5
11.3374- 1/4 @ 117.59mph

Congrats. That's a good et for a big ol' truck.

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

Thank you! And that’s at 4500’ DA! I was really hoping to hit an 11.39 this year, but with that 11.33, now I’m hoping for an 11.29 in below 3000’ air!

This is my buddys 77 C10. 5.3 with a SS2 cam, th375 with a freakshow converter and a 7875 VSracing Turbo on 21psi. The truck weighs 3900 and has 3.40 gears. Its been 1.50 to the 60 so far.

That ol truck is getting after it pretty good for a little 5.3 with that gear.:metal:

He just ordered a 88mm turbo for it, we're trying to go 5s.

Today was my first time at a drag strip. Got six runs in. Had a great time.

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

Good job PJ. Now if you can improve your 60 ft times then you might get a high 13 sec run. I am sure you were spinning out of the hole. Also if you deep stage on the second bulb you should get a better reaction time.

Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.
 

Your assessment is dead on. I really struggled with throttle control in first. I was too heavy out of the hole, and then I'd ease off and not get to full throttle as soon as I should have. My reaction times were all terrible. I definitely have lots of room for improvement. Sounds like an excellent excuse to go again soon! My daughter expressed interest in going, too.

Yes Sir, It takes practice but it is soooo much fun. That's a big plus if your daughter is interested. It helps teach them that its better to do this sort of thing at the track than on the street. Safely and Cheaply!! Here is a pic of my weekend S10 that I race at the track.

That thing looks wicked. I'm guessing that's the result of striving for faster and faster times over the course of many years.
