My Truck Got Slower
So i dont know what the hell is goin on, maybe i just had a bad night this saturday. I went up to the midinight drags in tulsa same place i went last time and ran my 13.7 well now that i have DR's i figured i'd hit the same track right, so anyways the truck has been popping from 1st to 2nd almost like hitting the limiter. Well my first run was against a new WRX STI I really dont know alot about these but i looked em up they run 13s and have 300hp and 290 TQ/ these were stolen from a suburu forum, anyways he got me by probably a length at the traps and i had spun on the DR's guess i wasnt lined up right. So i tell myself that was a 13 second run for sure. Well they dont turn on the times until later, so when they finally turn the time on i get back out there do a good burn out an chevy SSR pulls up next to me the lights flash and im gone, I mean im moving right, the SSR is way the hell back there, so it shifts 2nd and looks like a 5 speed the way the nose falls down then it shifts and im hauling ass, well anyways at the traps the SSR was a good ways back. I pull around to my friends so we could swap the DR's so he could run i ask what did I run they say a 14.00 WTF!!! I was like bull**** you're bustin my balls, apparently not I ran a 14.0, so I put the 20's back on went and ran again and ran a 14.3. Sorry this is such a long post but im losing my mind im gonna check out a few things this weekend maybe i need plugs or something.

man that sux, anyway hey lambo, you running on stock heads? seems you could do alot better for with the mods you have ..
-
yea i have stock heads, ive ran a 13.7 but i thought for sure the dr's would have gotten me some better numbers.

I thought your trucky was at the other shop for paint?
-
that track sucked the biggest hairest balls i have ever seen....bikes were running 14's....i could have beat 90% of the crap there...it was pityful.....i think something was up with that track G...let's go to a real track next time
-
yea oddly enough me, Simon, and rados and the tbss all ran slow, but i think something is up ill try a different track but im pretty sure its the truck but ya never know i guess.

Maybe your rockers bent a little bit? I heard that this happens sometimes when you get upgraded valvetrain. maybe your not getting the lift that you were when you first put the cam in?
-
yea im not sure jeff im def gonna take a look at em this weekend for sure, need to change my oil too.

it might not e visible. you might need a precise measure tool

I think G's motor is fine. The temps are picking up a bit and the timing lights that that track may have been off. If everyone was running slow, it may have been a combination of the track, temps, humidity, etc...
