New PB @ Temple

[PurpleMinivan]

It was to late to go to SAR at 8:00 Friday night so we headed up to Little River(Temple). Made a couple of adjustments before we left and got a PB tonight AND got a name for the TBSS by a guy at the track...What do ya'll think?...."Nasty Mickey Ficky"...Hopefully I spelled that right. Well here's the times: These are N/A by the way...no spray yet!

reaction- .4001
60 ft - 1.76
330 ft - 5.0526
1/8 - 7.82
1/8 mph- 88.46
1/4 -12.19
1/4 mph- 112.08 No 1000 ft time or mph

Sorry for the crappy vid, it was taken with my camera and the sound cuts out. Temple is not a great place to take vids at night.

Well, you saw it in person. You can change your sig now to read "okay, maybe your TBSS can do this".

That's the most fun I've had at a track in...in like 2 days.

liked to see a lower 60' before you spray. did you have your truck dyno'd yet?

A 1.7 60 ft is the fastest N/A (no power adders) TBSS I've seen from what I can find. Everyone else running that 60 has a maggie or a 100 shot or more off the line and true slicks on 17's or 18's, I have 20" Nitto DR's for now. But yes there is faster 60's coming...baby steps with the adjustments. No dyno yet either.

i had figured with a factory 4link suspenion the truck would 60 easier. I had thought of going to the tahoe 4 link for my truck but decided to stay leafs. i knew i cut 1.7s stock minus tires figured with all work done on your rig it would go deeper in the 60s. what is your pinion angle set at?

Stock these things get a 2.2-2.4 60 ft. With intake, headers and tune I did good to get 2.0-2.1 60's. I'd love to see what it would do with some 17" wheels and some true sticky's(28" tall). Been sitting here trying to think, I don't remember what the pinion angle is set at.

nope been doing 1.6X's with the 20" street tires at redline SEVERAL TIMES....but that was the 4.56 gears helping....so there is always a variable somewhere



but you WILL need to get a set of REAL stickies....those nitto's are not gonna grip for **** when you spray that monster trust me....at least they will not hold on a converter flah......

i bought a set of CHEAP 18 x 9" MB Motoring (discount tire brand) wheels and put MT ET Street Radials on em and i was pretty much dead hooking a 150 shot off the converter at Northstar last night bro.....

i had a set of nitto's and i had to hold on the window switch until about 3000 for the tires to hold and it still blew the tires off when it hit......

use the 20's for the road but get you a set of drag wheels to THRASH on at the track......

and my 7.04 was on a 150 shot off the converter with a 1.53 short time.....i'm back on the 4.10 and the nitrous is MUCH more manageable....



you are right where you should be.....i am trying to swing it to get to the track next week, i think i'll try to go and leave "RAGE" at home so i can focus on yours and saladbars to help dial in your setups on the track......there are a few things we can do to help you out.....SHORT shifting is HUGE benefitial on these pigs......i'm at 619X on my 1-2 and 2-3 and i will be lowering it to 6000 the next time out......

nice Kurt, that is a bad a$$ TBSS you have there. i got me a 12.51 at SAR last night, mine is learning too, but still wont shift....lol

[-HIC-]

Dont care for the nickname.... The times kick Azz!!

Nice runs. Picked up a tenth or more @ Temple over SAR??? Impossible, must be learning the tune better.

I thought I have heard people say the pinion should point down a degree or two? I have not idea about suspension.

Nice job Kurt.
