Nice! Congrats Jon!
So Jon how much for the heads cam package when your done with it?
i dont believe it no 6.0 on the planet is that fast......he must have a BBC and is lying about it.
if a 5.3 can run the possibilities are endless
It's got a carb too, everyone knows EFI is slow. Except TBI, that's the greatest injection system out there. So clearly Jon really has a transplant from a 454SSQuote:

He is number Juan!
Sweet deal.. Everyones MPH was pretty low there last night, this guy in a vette was trapping 117 when he just trapped 121 at SAR a few weeks before and ran the same times.
slow
very impressive, gives me some idea on what my setup will do on the juice ;)Quote:

Awesome times!
ballin!
nice time
Yes, DP 200 shot... 1 stage. Lowest pills he has for the plate is 125ish shot and I don't think the stock rods n pistons would like a 350 shot too much... I vote we don't find out lol
Right back where you were. Way to recover, on some junk yard parts no less.
Damn thats moving out! congrats man.
I second!Quote:

Why would this make me sick? I thought it was a good recovery given the circumstances and parts used.
--and whats the comment about "everyone is buying parts and crap......"??? Who's buying what, and what does that have to do with Jon's truck running some mid-10's?
Have I missed some drama on here lately?
I think Ricky means there's guys spendin ass loads of cash to do the same thing Jon is doing with junkyard and spare parts. I find it pretty funny
I think everyone has spent ass loads of cash, in motors and etcto go fast. Jon included, he just went back to square one while he waits to go big again.
get this beast to SAR! should see some low 10's :yippee: congrats jon that should shut all those doubters up
nice indeed!!!!
damn good times Jon! Let me know when you're heading to sar, you didn't miss anything this week, boring!
ya, we all have bought a ton of parts lol!
now i know where to shop for parts at :(
It's the cheese. :P

Wasn't direceted towards you, just thought the same thing you did lol..Quote:

what does the full slip look like? did any of the other slips back it up? i'm just curious because with a 1.8 to 1.9 60' you would need to trap into the 130+mph range to run a 10.57 unless the run went bad after the 1/8 or it put down some kind of amazing 1/8 and the truck falls off up top (doesnt look like it with that MPH)
assuming a 1.80 60' (lowest 1.8 for benifit of doubt) and 127 MPH trap my ricer math figures 11.0 possibly a 10.9. to get a 10.5 at 127 mph would need a 1.49 60'. (assuming it was a full run)
not meaning to call anyone out, and really didnt want to post this because it's about jon and everyone will probably get their panties in a bunch, but i'm curious about how the time slip worked out. I it's always possible that he let out on the top end, or ran out of nitrous and his top end didnt match his expected time for the 1/8 time. other possibilities could be that some sensors are out of whack on the track showing wrong mph or e.t. or something blew across the beam...but my ricer math for a 1.80 60' and 127mph isnt adding up to a 11.5.
^^^This... I think something with the timing system and speed play a part in the low MPH? Coulda been a run where he got a 1.7 60 also... I didn't sit and study the slip. It might still be in the truck or it blew out on highway 95Quote:

Here ya go. Here are two other slips from the night. Can't find the 10.5x slip must have put it somewhere special to frame or something... These are close though..Quote:

LOL, i know. which is why i called it ricer math. it's not always what you expect but it's pretty damn close most of the time. whats with people losing their best time slips lately? i still have my best from 3 years ago.Quote:

I think it has alot to do with the track (Temple)... they never even touch the track past the 1/8th. There is atleast some rubber/vht/prep up to the 1/8th mile marker, the rest of the track might as well be a county road lol
Its usually always spinning some down the track like Kurt said. Shitty track but its only 20min from my shop. Never any prep and the shutdown area is nothing. So sometimes I think im on the brakes before I reach the 1/4 beam, probably why it went 10.85@123. Ill see if I can find a video of running down the track from the trucks view...
Here is a run there. you can see it spinning off the line then spinning again around the 1/8... just a shitty track 95% of the time...LOL at the titan...he told his buddy he was gunna spank this cheby...

hahaha that video is so creepy at the end
Maybe if I do a gear swap from 4.10s to 4.88s and swap stalls from a 3200 to a 4500 it might run 9's. Keep in mind its not built for track...damn street racers...ricer..LOL
haha im guessing that's aimed at skeet? Spinning past the 1/8 would definately explain the confusion in my ricer math. it looks like my neighborhood street past the 1/8th lol. maybe 1 day ill have enough power to have traction issues past 100mph on slicks...Quote:
