brother took my truck to the track... best time for the 4.8L

I let my brother borrow my truck for the last two days.. His radiator in his dodge went out so i let him borrow my truck until he puts a new one in it.. Well he sent me a email this morning telling me he took it to kennedale and ran it twice... first run 10.01 the second run 9.91 still spinning a little.. Told him to bring me the timeslip tonight when he drops my truck off! If its legit then that would make it the fastest my truck has ran....:D

It really has gotten me thinking of what i need to do to try and break into the 8's now...

Okay guys, So my brother wasnt lying to me and he really did take my truck to the track... But the bestest news is saved for last!!

1st run he raced a new tundra

Silvy vs. Tundra
.261 R/T .063
2.245 60` 2.150
6.522 330 6.244
53.19 mph 55.10
10.013 1/8 9.615
70.33 mph 72.08


Second race was against a single cab hemi and my brother was able to run and beat my best time brother said it was a great race and that he was still spinning the tires.....

Silvy vs. Hemi
.101 R/T .057
2.262 60` 2.237
6.476 330 6.482
54.12 mph 53.45
9.919 1/8 9.966
71.05 mph 69.31

THE GOOD NEWS!! MY TRUCK FINALLY BEAT A HEMI AND POSTED ITS BEST TIME!!!

Thats pretty badass. But thats wierd you didnt pull out a win against the tundra. I guess I didnt think they were that fast stock.

yeah i was honestly thinking the samething when he told me that ... I think once i finally get a tune i should have that Tundra for sure though..

*edit* I didnt know you could have someone ride with you down the track either?

My brother said he took his g/f down the track when he raced the hemi...

yeah you can have a passanger unless you go under 8.75...found that out one night at redline, i took a girl for a ride and told him i wouldn't go under it...well i didn't turn off the spray soon enough and went 8.34....oops



good going, your trucks getting faster, you coming out to the next charity event?

Brothers G/F weighs 105 +lbs thats a tenth!! So i think my truck is capable of going 9.7's before a tune or anything else!!

Let her drive and it could be 2 tenths if you're a big guy like some of us.

i'm a small guy...I'm only 135lbs

Thanks Guys, I wish it wasnt all the way in denton Virgil .... I want to get a crane cam 210/218 .531" and a tune first and if i run low 9's after that!! Then i'm thinking I will head out there for sure... My first goal was just to get the truck to run 9.5's now i'm wanting to try and go for a high 8! :D

Going to start calling my 4.8L "The little engine that could"

if i had a bro and let him borrow my truck and he took it to the track without me knowing i think i would be a little angry

we can always go to redline, they are open this Sunday and i will be out there seeing what this built trans, LT's, and the 2nd stage did for my truck

Where's Redline at? I thought that was denton...

redline is out towards greenville and denton is in denton :)

Oh, okay Redline is in Caddo mills right off the hwy i remember now.. thats kinda far too..

I'm more closer to Kennedale then either of those two..

we just get a good rate at redline and it isn't really that busy out there on Sunday

I'm going to have to make plans to come out there to redline sometime... i've been wanting to go to that track for awhile...

Sunday at 4pm :D

not sure if i will be able to make it this weekend .. I have to try and finish up my shaving on my s10.. still have to add bondo and cheesegrate and sand ....:(

Nice job! Those new tunrdas are pretty "peppy":burnout:

thanks!!

Glad to see that were getting more 4.8L Members on here....
