my 60' didnt change

well, i have 4:10s now and im still running the SAME DRs i did when i was on 3:42s. i launched the same way, and tried new ways. NOTHING CHANGED. i had a consistent 1.84 on 3:42s and now all i can get is a dang 1.82 60'
my cam calls for a looser converter but i dont feel like upgrading bc i DD it and i love the way it runs now. well, all i can figure is it's bc ive out grown my converter and its a must to get a 3400-3600.

i went from 3:42s/G80 then to Yukon 4:11s/Tru-Trac. i ran the same psi as last time 26-27ish. i can't understand why it has no real change in the 60'. it E.T. was 13.0 AGAIN, but 104.2ish mph vs the 103.8 i had before.

Could it be due to the heat?

i figured i would have atleast seen a better 60' :( i wish it would have went 1.8 ATLEAST. then i really wouldnt be unhappy.

the truck pulls retarded fast from 25+

it keeps up with my buddys CCSB 5.3/6spd/3:42/spec'd cam/Roush tvs1900/obx 1 5/8" LTs/ory almost bumper to bumper from a 25 punch to 100

gears arent gonna put the power to the ground so why would it gain you any in the 60 ft? a stall puts the power to the ground which gains you 60 ft ;) gears = mile per hour stall = 60 ft :)

i figured it'd be less of a load on the truck so it'd start to move faster which in turn brings my 60' down a lil more ? i dunno, looks like its time for a 3600 ;)

sure its not some of it in the tune?... I think the gears should have helped.... I "help" a guy over the phone out of state... his truck was able to gain a Solid .2X in the .60 foot just going from a 3.73 to a 4.10... But yes he has a Bit more converter then yourself..... and YES a converter will help you .....

yeah i have a Circle D 3000-3200 (278mm) the truck does better on a flat foot than a 3200 foot brake. its ok it saves me gas ;) jj. i guess its time to run a 3600 converter (brand unknown) im leaning towards the Circle D or a Yank. i want to upgrade to Billet 1-2 and 4th gear servos, a Tru-cool 40k

dang!! .2 in the 60' alone! truck must have a ton of torque! big motor huh?

what was the dates of the 2 runs? and what track were they done at? are you dead hooking or spinning some out of the hole?

dibs on your current verter if you get a new one lol

i cant remember the date of the first run but i can post up when i get home.
this last run was this past wed night at No Problem Raceway in louisiana i have no idea the town bc there is NO ONE around the track lol.
the other run on 3:42s was at State Capital Raceway outside of Baton Rouge, La. they both had the same temps really. 95-97ish both races.

im dead hooking on a flat foot, 1500 stall up, 1800ish stall up, 2000 stall. the 60' ranges from 1.82-1.86 if i stall it up to 2500+ it 60's 2.0 no matter what! im running M&H DR 275/55/16s and they are awsome imo. i noticed when i swapped tires my bump stops was about an inch from the perches, well when i swapped tires last night i cut them all the way off just incase i was bottoming out on them.

Sounds like you need a little more stall. Do you have a way to data log it. You can see the flash RPM then to see what is really going on.

Chris

i dont have hptuners, but i have an old efi life scan cable from my 01 but ill be getting with my tuner to data log it at the track for me. i need to get with you about a 3600 converter. i think that's going to be my next upgrade vs 1 7/8" LTs and 3.5" exhaust.

ya for sure. If anything, headers/bigger exhaust will hurt 60'. Will help 1/4, but not off the line.

i know i can pick up mph if i had bigger headers and exhaust, then possible pull the heads and have them reworked and swap to LS3 valves vs these heavy L92 heads. the 60' would either be reworked with a 3600 converter or a 50shot out the hole lol.

my WT needs a looser stall, so i may sell the 2800-3000 converter thats in it.

I'm only getting a 1.83 out of that same stall with my truck. It's not a high performance stall to be honest and it performs amazing as a daily driver stall that gives a bit more at the track. To get a better 60' you're going to give up some drivability over the 278mm stall. I would stick with Circle D if it were me...this budget stall has taken everything I can throw at it and gave me no trouble.

i need a looser stall either way. i know i can make up for the lack of stall by regearing the truck but im happy with these gears.
i run Circle D converters in my CC and my 94 W/T with a cammed 5.3 the only thing is the next converter is 750.00 and i cant see myself spending that kind of cash for a 12.8-12.9 pass. i can put the shot on it and get my 60' down but then i'll be putting a tranny in sooner than i want. i dont abuse my truck on a daily basis. i also noticed my bump stops were bottoming out. i do no tow anything with my truck. its lowered 2/3 and it still had 1-1.5" between the axle and the bump stop so that might be an upgrade. we'll see come tomorrow.

not 100% true, depending on the situation it may hurt or pick up a shit load of bottomend

richard at WCCH said i can upgrade to 1 7/8" LTs with dual 3" exhaust w A H pipe or run 1 7/8" LTs with a 3.5" Y and 3.5" exhaust and itd flow very well even with stock heads. i think imma try a 3" electric cut out right at the Y so i can see what it does.

your keeping up with your boys ccsb 5.3 with the roush on it?

yep, from a 25 punch to 100. from a 40 punch he gets 1 1/2 trucks on me instantly but by 85 im at his front door coming on strong but we had to shut down bc of traffic. we're gonna try from a drig to 100 one day and see how bad it goes bc all i do is spin and he does too lol.

i just cut down my bump stops, and im adjusting my rev limiter on 1-2 and changing shifts on the 2-3.

his shifts to what i know are:
1-2 6k
2-3 6k
3-4 6400
4-5 6k
5-6 6k
with those gears he'd out run me lmao. he's on a stock converter, stock 3:42s, and 20s

ohhhh ok. I was thinking he was full out with the tvs. I have a good friend here with practically the same truck, and a similar setup. so I was curious what the other guy was running. You have a strong truck though it seems. All in the setup.

nope just a Pat G spec'd cam, OBX LTs/ORy/magnaflow exhaust, LS3/7 TB, Truckshop tune, R TVS1900. he went 13.1@103 letting out. he's going back tonight and try for a 12.8-12.9 pass, so am i.

i have a lot more in mine than he does :( but i think its bc i dont have a big enough converter or exhaust set up. im happy with my truck though it just cant chase down 11sec cars on the street lmao.

June 12th SCR outside of Baton Rouge, La

flat footed it:
R/T .693
60' 1.882
330 5.424
1/8 8.382
MPH 83.64
1000 10.907
1/4 13.061
103.84

1800rpm stall up
R/T 348
60' 1.864
330 5.424
1/8 8.391
MPH 83.34
1000 10.922
1/4 13.078
MPH 103.84

i have no idea the DA' or anything like that.

With 103-104mph trap speeds you are NOT going to run any faster than what you are running now. Sorry, but at your weight and the power your making thats it.

so now it's time to add parts. 102mm intake/tb, 1 7/8" LTs 3.5" exhaust, WCCH heads, 3600 converter.

looks like that's a good dream. it'll never happen. looks like it's time for a 100shot at the 1/8 ;)


my injectors are at 103ish% at 6800 rpm. i think i need more injector before i do anything else. also my a/f ratio is 12.0ish from 3k-6800 shouldnt it be closer to 11.5 or something? i know nothing about all this. sorry
