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):



No record breakers for sure, but that's what I get for having an obese 4wd truck!
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.

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;:
