    The ice skater

    I guess I found my truck's nickname... well the announcer did. After some crazy wheelhop and spinning a quarter of the way down the track and heading toward the wall, I guess the "ice skater" is a suitable name. The flip kit won't deal with the power.

    On the "ice skating run" I ran 18.4 at 83, but still beat the turbo 5.3. This suspension setup is all rigged by the original owner and I haven't put any work into it yet. The best run of the day was a 15.5 at 87. It was still fully loaded down and I didn't stall the converter or anything on that run... just waited for the green (not the last yellow) and then mashed it. I know it is capable of a low 15/high 14. Maybe next time.

    You can't really see the wheelhop but you can hear the announcer saying I must be trying out for Olympic skating. I don't know what the guy in that turbo 5.3 was doing wrong that I managed to get him.

    Yeah Id say you just need to adjust your pinion angle.

    How do you go about that? Different brackets? I do get a little driveline vibration around 50 at heavy throttle.

    Stalling it up is what got me. My first run hooked up perfectly when I just mashed it on the green light.
