It's finally getting there!

Last night was a good night to run, cool and low humidity.

Best run of the night was:

reaction: .5142
60ft: 2.1092
1/8 et: 8.838
1/8mph: 81.49mph
1000et: 11.4351
1/4et: 13.67
1/4mph: 100.00

But, get this, I let my brother drive for the first time and he busted out a 13.74 with my big ass in it! As he was driving, I increased the timing in the upper rpms, it responded well!!!
Then, I decided to run it myself and increase the timing while driving, the burn out was good, then as I was staging, I was boosting it up, and the operator told me to stop, he said "you're leaking trans oil" I was thinking bs.
I pulled it off the track and the truck was completely dry, no leaks at all, trans temp was at 145deg.
So that sucked, I bet it would have been a good 13.4 run. Because I know for a fact, with me in it or another person, I loose 3-4tenths down the track.

I'm very happy with this time, it's still at 5psi and I'm not turning it up until I get a 13.3 w/ 5psi.

Allen, what's the weight of the Avalanche? I'd love to go with an STS in my truck but I'd also like an LS7 for $12,000. Maybe next year if I'm lucky. I'm sure you weigh more than my 4950 lbs so you're kickin ass with those times if you're in the 6 to 7000 lb range. As soon as I get my slicks I'm going to meet with VV8 again and see what we can do for improvement. Awsome numbers!!!!

Thanks bud8fan, those are awsome numbers for that weight. How much heavier are the older body styles?
