first track times since stock

Well i finally made it to the 1/4 mile and got a few runs in! stock was 15.9

It was warm and the humidity was about 70% so it was a pretty bad day to make runs.
Before i post times I will explain my set up! Its a 6.0 with a kbracing frontmount, 70mm mp turbo, 4" exhaust, z06 cam, and yellow springs/ also a 4l80 with stock tq verter and some 295/50/16 mt et streets II's.

I ran the truck just like i daily drive it on the street, laptop on the back seat, 2 10's under the back seat, some jackets and a change of clothes, toolbox with tools and jack(not the original jack, a floor jack) left the headlight in and the tailgate on!

approx weight of 5100 with me in it.......

1st run:
72 deg 20 minutes after arriving
60' ---- 2.102
1/8 ---- 8.471
1/4 ---- 12.991
mph --- 108.41

2nd run about 45 minutes later approx 68 deg
60' ---- 2.012
1/8 ---- bike tore up the 1/8 and mph
1/4 ---- 12.980
mph --- 108.02

3rd run 1 hour later approx 67 deg
60' ---- 1.958
1/8 ---- 8.302
1/4 ---- 12.813
mph --- 108.91

how complete are the kbracing kits? How long did the install take? i want a frontmount, but don't have the time to really fab anything up. I need a full bolt on kit.

PS...nice times!

Have you seen Nelson's or Trickflow's kits? The new NP frontmount is cool. He has done a few writeups on here about them. They are complete kits from both companies.

kyle is a great guy to deal with, his kits come as complete or as bare bones as you want! I think he will sell parts of it or build an entire kit for you. But buying a full fmic kit from him is the overall cheapest way to do it I think! Not taking anything away from other kits though, his is the only one i have run and personally seen! As for install time and all that we did it in a day other than having to chase parts for this and that because i didn't buy the complete kit, it would have saved time and money to purchase a full kit and install and tune the same day and be rolling in about 9 hours!

honestly bump up the boost. 112+ traps are a lot more fun then 108 traps. Thats a damn good 60ft on a stock verter. How much boost did you see on the line? Got you updated on the list btw

Thanks for the update! As far as boost leaving the line my gauge still showed vacum. I still have the vacum brakes so i was pushing through the lights even doing the "sy ty shuffle" but it felt great and i know its got more i just have to get my timming down, that run was a .8723 r/t on a pro tree. Not that great but i did leave as soon as it turned haha! I would love to up the boost but i want to keep it safe for a daily driver right now and I know exactly how i am :)

Nobody's kit is gonna fit your truck as is. I know for a fact that the cross over pipe won't fit with out mod as it will hit you front drive shaft. Also, looks like your truck has a body lift too, that will interfere with the intercooler mounting. If you want to turbo, PM me and we can probable make something work with enough pic of your setup, :lol:

No front shaft...with the body lift, the rad is just 3 inches higher in relation to motor, I'm assuming the cold pipe would be really easy to modify...hot pipe shouldn't change

Oh, didn't realize it was a 2wd. Then everything should fit, just the intercooler mounting would have to be lowered and it would hang down below the bumper a lot, but might be able to work with something different there too. maybe even a water to air setup.
