Timeslips from Ennis...

I'm 791..

....these two are running with TxStVanWilder:

This was against a Ford Focus with a fart can:

And these two are against the SRT10 (ouch):

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...66_44_full.jpg

No record breakers for sure, but that's what I get for having an obese 4wd truck! :doh:
This was my first time ever racing, so I guess the encouraging thing is my R/T improved each run and so did my E/T's. And sorry, but I have to point out - my second 60' was better than the SRT!

Was it crowded out there last night?<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(DamnYankee &#064; Oct 14 2006, 08&#58;34 AM) [snapback]69366[/snapback]</div>

Not bad...had to wait a little bit in line, but nothing crazy. Nice track though, I&#39;m hooked.

i really thought you would run a little bit faster. with a 3000 stall and 4WD your 60&#39; should be lower. were you launcing in 4WD?

The 1st run I planned on doing with no stall, plain old 2wd, just to see what it would do Alan started stalling, and I gave in to peer pressure, started to stall mine and the light changed, so I kind of screwed my launch (and times) up. The second run I did in AWD stalled to about 2000. The third run I tried 2wd again, stalled to 2000 and spun bad. Fourth run I did in AWD stalled to 2500. The last I did in AWD stalled to 2800.

I never got a retune after the torque converter/headers/exhaust work. I wonder if I&#39;m needing one. I&#39;ve been looking around and there are other extended cab Z71&#39;s with better times than me and not nearly as many mods. I really think it should run in the 14&#39;s> My last run, I got close, but I think right now a 15.0 is all it has in it.

Allen, if you read this, do you think I need a retune (shift points etc. adjusted since I have the new parts)?

Here&#39;s what I did - still suckin&#39; wind 14.6 ---- ughh&#33;

I only ran twice, but was too disappointed and tired to run anymore. I ran a 14.6 when I went to the track last time in 105 degree with bald tires.....was extremely perplexed by the cold air not doing ANYTHING to help me. There&#39;s gotta be some kind of restriction going on somewhere&#33;

Anyway, here&#39;s my best run of the night:

R/T - .337
60&#39; - 2.338
330 - 6.255
1/8 - 9.464
MPH - 77.80
1000 - 12.234
1/4 - 14.631
MPH 93.52

So come on, somebody tell me what I&#39;m doing wrong&#33;&#33; 30 degree temp drop and nothing different. Changes besides that and last time I went to the track:

oil change
tires - Indy Profile S/S
Leaky header connector remedied (bolt had fallen out) -

"was wonderin&#39; why I kept on hearing this ticking sound&#33;&#33;"

Comparing the SRT-10 times that DamnYankee ran makes me see I&#39;m not too far off from the SRT-10 times (.4 seconds)...still little consolation.

he sure spanked the crap out of it.. those are fast trucks off the lot. but from what you said his mods were, i think there is another cat in the bag that he isn&#39;t letting go. :whack:

Yep. Here&#39;s one where he&#39;s doing his 12.8 run....listen closely, you can hear the guy mention he&#39;s sprayin&#39;:

http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n191/wh...mgAnch=imgAnch9

I know he also has a Yank 3600 because we installed it. last I talked to him, he was thinking about the turbo too.

Couln&#39;t believe he&#39;d shoot the bull like that. I was honest with him.....oh well, its not like it mattered really, I was going for time, not for a win. He told me he had a cold air intake and e-fans...."that&#39;s all"

Racing is like playing poker.....
If the other person can&#39;t see what is coming you don&#39;t tell him :doh:

Happened to me in Houston at the track, he wouldn&#39;t open the hood and siad he had a stock set up..... A 5.3 that beat me by 4 lengths and a "Show No Time" on the glass......
I Never had a chance :tantrum: :burnout:

Like I said, its not like it matters to me. Its just the omission of the truth that kinda got me. I mean, I expect that kind of stuff in street racing, but not the track.....ignorance on my part I suppose....

He must have been practicing for the PINKS&#33; episodes next week.

that is pretty retarded he didnt tell you what he had. he already knew his truck was faster. what a bully.

I hear ya on that. Most of the people I talked to there were pretty up front. I didn&#39;t realize the SRT10 was an SRT10...thought it was a Hemi. I asked him what he&#39;d been running and he said low 14&#39;s. I said oh man, maybe I should take my sticker off. He asked what it said and I told him (Yeah, It&#39;ll Beat a Hemi) and he just laughed and said t&#39;s not a Hemi bud&#33; I leaned over farther to look out the passenger window and saw it was the SRT10. But he was totally cool and even got to shoot the bull with him a little after the race.

Point being is most people are cool about it since everyone is there to have fun and enjoys the same thing. It&#39;s a shame some people have to be stupid about it.

Im bringing it back from the dead&#33;&#33;&#33; I did not lie to the man about what i had&#33; It was a miscommunication&#33; My friend on that vid just likes to bullshit with people.

this is an oldie.. but, i&#39;m sure i speak for everyone when i say i wonder what you&#39;ve really got under "da&#39;hood?" :smile:

well all im gonna say is when i got to ride... im not gonna lie i looked around for any kind of switch or bottle :laugh: so im pretty sure he wasnt on any kind of spray :hshake:

atleast i didnt see any tell tale signs of a bottle

:rofl: and his ol lady was sayin, if you blow this one up im gonna kick your ass..... also another tell tale sign of no bottle on board :laugh:

yall are more than welcome to check it out on wednesday at sonic(weather permitting)

http://www.trailblazerss.com/forums/...?showtopic=255

only if there is beer there..

i&#39;ll have a chest in the back fo ru then

i&#39;ll have a chest in the back fo ru then

HOE bring your own beer... and damnit bring me some too

and yes weather permitting its a good time had by all... the streets of Mexico come alive... im in this week&#33;&#33;

What&#39;s this continued mention of Mexico - I&#39;m confused....

in the United States street racing is illegal, so sometimes we go to "mexico" to race on the highways and byways down south...... i know it may look like north Texas, but its really mexico... trust me

Hell with all the mexicans around i thought we really were in mexico??? O well

depends on which part of Garland you live in :laugh:
