I've been 10.40 once and 10.5x a few times. Fastest MPH has been 134. I'm in the process of making a few changes to my setup so all the EC better step up ALOT!!!!!!! I wont be back to the track till late summertime!!

we did a harness, basic tuning, turbo headers for him, then he took the truck to the chassis guy.
mods are: 427, ls7 heads, sheet metal intake, all the nasty stuff, twin 88's, th400, mine tubbed 4link.
this sob should run!!!!
when he gets done, he'll take it for sure!
So why don't I count. Poor EC guys can't keep up with a bagged Nitrous truck.. :LOL::LOL:Quote:

yall 2 were badass races ..seen yall race a couple of times lol.
We were the first 2 out on the track and got a couple runs in before the line started.. I have something coming soon fr my truck so I'm not one wheel pealing 60ft down the track lol..
I have a feeling jon is just waiting in the shadows, then he's gonna jump out and go all jack the ripper on someone :lol:
I just hope he gets in the 9's with nitrous before he changes, he can't give up on it!!!
so let me get this straight... a bunch of 400+ cubic inch trucks that are 4 linked are competing with a stock 5.3 truck on stock suspension???

As for engine, it's just a forged piston 6.2L.
No excuses here mf's!!! run what you brung!!!!!
If a 440ci twin turbo extcab beats a stock 5.3L, end of story, period, it beat it! sure you can bench race and talk how one is on a budget, low cost, etc etc, but the fact is, if you're faster, you WIN!
Not exactly... Jon was on a "stock "altered" 6L" for awhile and he's bagged w/ a 3 link, not 4 linked and was running faster... Modified suspension just like the other so called "stock suspension" trucks. You'll see soon that a "stock 5.3" and "stock suspension" will be so far behind it won't even be considered competing. Silver sleeper has a 4 link?... He has the fastest EC in my eyes right now...Quote:

Not even a cookie handed out... I'm so sick and tired of hearing about "stock suspension"... nobody cares if you have a "stock suspension". Besides, my DD has "stock suspension" like it came from the factory... that's "stock suspension"... not lowered with stiffer front springs or softer de-leafed leaf springs with caltracs or long bars on the back and coilovers and pinion shims to correct pinion and on and on... GTFO with that ricer chit
Boost>nitrous all day everyday... have a great day!!

word it how you will, they all run the same. it has nothing to do with cash by any means and definitely not the talent...Quote:

Mitch for doing it on leafs and lots of stock parts, Jon for doing it in a truck that'd feel just as comfortable at a show or dragging frame on cruise night. Can't say much about Lukes because it's still out of the shop fresh, same goes for Kevin's. Damn guys. Step back, think about this.
huh?? im not referring to your grammar im referring to you complete lack of racing knowledge... really??? no award for stock suspension?? are you that much into yalls roll racing and shit that you have no idea whats ACTUALLY going on in drag racing now a days, and for that matter ALWAYS? oh and what excuses do you think im making? i never thought mitchs truck should be the fastest and nor do i care that there are faster trucks. its just a simple fact that there are some badass builds putting down the same power and running the same times as he is on a stock engine and suspension. no it has nothing to do with money (i know how much that fool has spent on that turd) its just a simple fact and thats it.
Inside joke
Wanna cookie?
