I ran the truck 4 times tonight. I could have run 20, but was trying to let it cool down in between runs. The temp started about 97 and ended the night around 88. Obviously high humidity in Houston. I ran it right after I got there and about 3 times approx 30-45 minutes apart. The problem was that by the time I got staged, the engine was already at full temp, so all my runs were on a hot motor. I am going to install electric fans ASAP in the hopes that I can get a little cooler run down the 1/4. Run 1 was solo, 2 and 3 I smoked some rice, and 4 I got handed my butt by a pro-mod truck. (high 10 second run for him)

My runs were, in this order, 14.0, 13.9, 13.8, 13.8. The last one I had poor traction but was the coolest temp for me that evening.

The best of the 4 were as follows (I'll post a link to the MPEG as soon as my buddy gets it off of his camera) There were no R/Ts tonight as they were instant green.

60 ' 2.005
330 5.782
1/8 8.886
mph 79.60
1000 11.559
1/4 13.831
mph 99.15

Traction was pretty good at the track. The trucked spun just a little, but pretty good bite for the GTIIs. I was actually kind of surprised.

My mods are as follows:
JDM 6lb lower
AF1 intake
REM ported/polished TB and Plenum
JDM chip

I am running REALLY rich, so tuning the chip, an electric fan setup, and some cooler weather maybe I can break the 13.5s. I couldn't get the weight of the truck as their scale seemed to top out at around 5700. I tried 3 times and the numbers rolled up and then it said overload. A buddies lightning there was 4650 or so. I hate to think we are 1K more in weight. I will try to make it out to the dump where they weigh the vehicles for the dumping charge and get a good reading.

12's in this truck is going to be tough.

Just to let you know i weighed my truck the other night with a full tank of gas and a passesger were right at 5,600

Derek

 

i weighed mine w/ 1/4 tank and no occupants and weighed
5200lbs.i ran 13.75 at 99.76 with about the same conditions
and about the same cooldown.great job can't wait till it gets
cooler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!13.50's for sure.

 

we actyualy had good air here in ny on friday it was in the low 70s high 60s i ran my best time at race way pk 13.1 at 104 mph a lil over 1 tenght an i will hit 12's maybee i will try slicks

 

How are you running 13.1 when everyone else out there is in the mid 13'S ????????????????????? Whats the difference?

 

one word....MODS!!!

nice times ken, its starting to get there

cobra, once you get in the 12's consistently (which shouldn't be too long ), you'll have to come down to atco so i can video tape your run, then i'll try and link it to here so everyone can see.

 

This is really getting tiring - "one word - Mods" isn't an answer to the question - look at my signature - I have "mods" too!! I am looking for information as to "how" he is using the "mods" to get what he is getting! And don't come back with "driver" as the answer - and since I am getting close to being a pain with this - why is it that we have never seen a time slip from the only guy that is running 13.1 in a Harley??

 

And one more thing - I still maintain that you will have to be putting aprox. 475hp to the rear wheels to get around 13.1 with a 5400lb truck - thats aprox. 175hp more than the truck comes stock!! has the truck ever been on a dyno?

 

Ken
How are you launching? Are you lowing your tire psi? and are you dropping weight by removing fuel, spare tire, etc?
I went to the track a couple weeks ago, and the tire spin was unbelievable. I don't think I have as many ponies as you (320) in my SC 2001 HD, but my launhing was all tire spin. HELP!

 

FIRST OFF MY TRUCK ONLY MADE 402 AT THE REAR WHEELS AND 518LB OF TORQUE I DON'T KNOW WHAT SIZE MY PULEY IS BUYT I RUN BETWEEN 14 AND 15 LB OF BOOST AND I WOULD SHOW U A SLIP UT I HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING IT ON THIS COMPUTER, IF ANY OF U ARE IN NJ FEEL FREE TO SEE IT RUN AT RACE WAY PARK. I HAVE NO REASON TO LIE ABOUT IT ITS ON LY A TRUCK , AND THE TRUCK WITHME IN IT WAS 5580LB ON FRIDAY DON'T FORGET I PRETY MUCH HAVE EVERY BOLT ON U CAN DO TTO THESE TRUCKS, AND THIS FRI I WILL HAVE MAD A FEW LIL CJANGES SO HOPE FULY IT GOES 13.0 OR MAYBEE 12,S IF ITS NICE

 

HEYHARLEY 356 I THINK I AM GOIN TO A TRACK RENTEL THE END OF OCTOBER AT ATCO , ITS ON A FRIDAY GET IIN TOUCH WITH ME IF U WANNA COME DOWN AND SPECTATE, I THINK ALL THE RACE SPOTS ARE FULL

 

I didn't mean to make you "scream" - but you still are not willing to list your mods and you don't even know what size pulley you are running - I am not calling you a liar - I want to know what you are doing so that I can head in that direction - I am putting over 405 to the rear wheels and the best that I can do is 13.6 - I know that heat makes a difference - but is it that big of a difference? Inquiring minds just want to know.

 

FastHarley, the reason i said "MODS" was cuz i know he has a lot of them, but i don't personally keep track of everybody's mods to list on demand. I just listed that as a response until cobra got on to reply. Need a little humor on the boards once in a while to lighten things up. He listed his mods about a month back in a thread, but i'm not sure what one.

Also, last time i was at atco for their show and races, they had a portable dyno set up. I was there when cobra put the truck on the dyno, and i have it video taped and the chart on the vid also where he made it into 400+/500+. If i can figure out how to post that, i will. And o yeah! if you want to see it, tune into espn 2 on october 4th i think at 6 pm. (i'll double check on teh date later) because cobra's truck will most likely be on TV when he was doing his dyno run. Then EVERYBODY can see it

and cobra, i'll definately try and get to atco to watch your run. I'll email you later for more details. I'll also video tape it and try to post it.

and if you want, you can (snail) mail me a couple of your time slips, and i can scan them, and mail em back, or give em back to you at atco in october, and i'll post them for you since there is so much doubt here.


please don't turn this thread into a flame

 

yup, cobra was on the dyno at atco. LoL

and i just checked the date. This will be on TV, october 2nd at 6 on espn 2

 

I too find the 13.1's a little hard to swallow. I have the same amount of boost as him and maybe 20 rwhp and 40 less tq.

Yet he runs 8 tenths and 4 mph faster. The mph makes a little sense with the better air and closer to 0ft air or less -500 on some days. but the 8 tenths damn !

I will be the first to say with these trucks so new I will need to see a time slip and maybe some video.

I know there is a guy on another board that claims 12's and he lives local. No one at the track remembers him and when I said we should meet up he was gone from the board????????

I too call no one a liar. But with so much bench racing on the internet I believe very little I hear, and half of what I see.
