Awesome run!

Congrats Rich.

Hopefully I'll get some traction and run a number like that soon too!

.2 better than your previous best

Looks like that new blower is really working out well for you.

Money well spent.

What do you think you would have done if your slicks wouldnt have turned or if you would have trimmed some weight or if you would have run a more agresssive tune or ????????

You got video or timeslips?

yeah but isnt his MPH like 4mph higher than before?? He is obviously making more power than he was before I am sure he will run better if he can keep his slicks from spinnin on the rim... prolly like an 11.5 or maybe lower!!!!!
All on stock block!!!!

I have the Hoosier 28x10x16 slick on a 16x10 wheel... They got some pics of it today ($25 each at the track) with the thing so wrinkled you would have thought it was coming off the rim.

My best 60 foot on the stock stall is a 1.64. I really think I can meet or beat that with the new setup once I get the slicks screwed.

I have a real loose factory convertor, yes that it stock to....

I am waiting on a guy to crop the videos, hopefully they will turnout. My truck is nothing off the line, it just lifts and goes. No squat power loss here, the CALTRACS make it work well, I think the lowering helps some to, I knocked off .15 off my 60 foot just with that.

Like I said, im about 80% right on this setup up, I dont know how far it will go, but It will be fun trying it...

Betsy is about to hit 25,000 and she did it with a bang today...

Killer Times! Congrats!

You say 'stock block'. Does that mean the whole bottom end is stock (pistons/rods/etc.) straight from the factory?

It was around 50 deg, damp air, and not perfect track conditions. I am pretty sure there is alittle more left in it.
