Met mindless, Gadgetized, Mike from New Era and HydroStream at the track last with a goal of a 12.x slip. Boost is at 11 psi with the cutout closed on 93 pump.
Going there I zeroed out my mpg and for the 30 mile trip with the cruise at 70 got me this.
1st pass. Left at 5 psi. 2.0 sixty, 13.1 at 103. Got yelled at for no helmet.
2nd pass. Left at 5 psi. 2.1 sixty, 13.0 at 104. Yelled at again so I used Mindless’
3rd pass. I lined up with Gadget. His stare down is way to friendly =]
Which turned into this:
and this from his truck: Choda 12 86 @ 104 left lane - YouTube
4th pass. Left at 0 psi. 1.8 sixty, 12.9 at 104 and called it a night. I have vids taken from my truck but I cant log into my youtube to host them right now. Ill post them up later.
Every pass I was spinning all four tires. Obviously less only leaving out of vacuum but any boost outta the hole was horrible. I did get a chance to look around my front end for limiting straps. The NNBS front ends are a little different then the NBS ones that are posted on this forum. Ill basically follow the same steps just mount them in separate spots. Before any limiting straps, I would like to try suspension changes ( lower the rear ).
Special shout out to Trick Performance, New Era, and all my track buddies. Im pretty happy with officially having a 12 second dd truck.
the mph seems low to me, it did a 13.6 at 101. I dropped that much et and have 3 more psi for 3 mph? hmmm
the in truck vids I have, I can def hear and see something going on in 3rd gear. it kinda slows down, like a rough spot of something going on. Many truck guys say its the weak stock valve springs.
I lost my password and will load the vids to youtube Monday
Here is another vid of the same race. You can see how much my truck jumps, kicks and spins. Also check out my g tech shift light flashing. The g tech was within a tenth all four runs. the mph varied about 2 mph higher than my actual trap speed.
Next will be Stage III. Some suspension tweaks and Cam. Springs. Lifters. Studs, Pushrods… Etc. Then I’ll be done with it. It’ll make good power on the dynos and surprise a lot of people at the track. Plus tow crap and load the family up.
does Adam (hydrostream) still have his GTO? Havent seen him in years great guy. What was the guy in the other trucking driving built SRT10? Tought o tell in the pic but kinda looks like a ram
