    Bad night at SAR!

    Well first off, I made it to the track and had a blown tire on the trailer my truck was on(I towed mine because we were picking up my friends s10 so i hitched a ride)

    My first pass went ok but I noticed the truck would rev but wouldnt pull much in the upper rpm(5000 to 6500). 14.1@106 with a 2.5 60ft. Im on 275/55 street tires.

    Second pass, I added 2 degrees of timing on the HP tuner software and removed the air filter to see what would happen. I take off a little harder this time and squeeze out a 2.3 60ft (still slow i know) I notice the truck pulling a lot better than before so i stay in it. At about 200 feet to go BAM!! I hear a horrible noise like I just ran over a large rock. I lift right away and coast through with a 13.6@92mph. Turns out my power steering pump froze and the pulley shattered which shattered my CAI pipe and shredded my belt also.

    Im just getting home at 230am and am shopping for underdrive pulleys and a power steering pump! This bites!

    It could have been much worse. At least they are relatively easy to fix. And if you ran a 13.6 and you let out. You could have put a LOW 13 down easy. A little more tinkering and who knows. If you havent got the tune lined out all the way it is REALLY promisein

    Sorry about your luck. But it could have been worse. IMO people should bring a trailer, a dolly, or at least tow straps to the track. Because $hit happens.
    at least your times were good. Nice MPH.
