New track time... Should it be the time I should expect?

[phantom405]

106mph is good enough for mid 12's...Thats pretty good for just motor. Get some slick on that thing

Wow those are some crazy times with a somewhat mismatched combo and street tires. I know alot of 5.3s on slicks that run around those times. The truck is coming up top big time.

[06blcksierra]

Yeah. And idk why it does so good. Should it not run that good?

[Beatdown Z]

Should it not run that good?

LOL, that's a funny question. Your times just go to show that your truck is somewhat "dialed in" on the setup it has. I'm guessing the exhaust bias on the cam helps make up for the power the manifolds are holding back(well, that's my theory, lol). All you have to do is work on your 60' and 12's are in the bag.

[06blcksierra]

Lol sorry. Where should my 60' be to get into the 12s?

The 60' time isn't real accurate to figure off of. I say this because an 11 sec truck may suck out of the hole and cut a 1.9 or 2.0 but pick up big time around the 330' or 1/8th and finish out amazing. I guess if it helps most guys running 12's are 1.8's to low 1.9's, not doubting your times at all, but I have a similar setup and I've managed a best of 14.7 on 28" slicks? That was on a N/A tune from nelson through the mail. Granted I had 3:73's at the time, but I can footbrake it up to 2800ish on the line and I cut 2.0x 60' all day. I also have LT's over your shorties and caltrac's...just curious what my trucks deal is and why it needs to grow up. Track conditions that day were 2mph winds from the back and about 80*.

To start off with...HUH?

Your 2.0 60' is far from stellar, but about right for that converter. I see you have a cam. A cam and converter should definitely put you alot lower than mid 14's. The only way a truck will run 11's with a 1.9 is either lots of cubes, a fair amount of nitrous or turbo, blower, etc etc... So yeah, a 60' time is a pretty accurate way to figure what your times coulda, shoulda, woulda been

[ecld_07]

Sometimes 60fts are hard to judge 1/4 off of. Iv went 12.6s quite a few times with 2.2 60fts on motor only. Not the trucks fault. It still had 3.23s out back and not enough converter.

I understand that it's not even clsoe to a great time, just saying I also have the hotcam, I was on slicks, and have LT's over his shorties so we have a lot of the same parts....I realize I'm 400 rpm less with converter, but how is over he making over a second on mine in the 1/4? Just wondering waht's wrong with my setup that's all. My comment about the 60' times was for running 12's, a 1.8-1.9 is usually a 60' for a 12 sec run...I meant don't judge your 1/4 mile time solely on that though because I've watched 11 sec and lower cars turn almost 2 sec. 60' times, but pick up huge on topend.
