I would have been happy with the 12:11

I was going to go to Etown yesterday but it was too cold and windy, plus it was a wednesday night.

Was it opened up? Or through the mufflers? Not that it makes much difference.

69Roadster,

With the stock blower we've gone a best of 11.08. With the KB we went 10.93 but I got off the throttle between the 1150-1200 ft. mark which definitely cost me 2 tenths and I definitely lost a tenth in the 60 ft. I would say all in all boost for boost the KB's are 3-4 tenths faster than the stock Eaton. Which at this speed should be about 95 horsepower considering Kevin's truck weighs in at over 4600 pounds.

Jim, I think I might just have to loose the 150 shot and go with a new blower for my engine!

Talking 10 Second Club

Hey guys,

I wanted to say thanks to everyone that responded and I am really looking forward to it being fine tuned to see just what it has in it!!!
I spoke with Jim late last nite and got all the details on the runs and some adjustments he wants to make. Even though the 10 second barrier was crossed, I feel a mid to low 10 second time slip is not to far off.


Jim and the crew @ JDM have dedicated a ton of time to complete their engine program and I wanted to say thank you for your efforts


See you at the track!

Kevin

Just imagine being in the other lane on that run.

First the other guys leaves early and has a pritty good 60' time, he is thinking OK I got this lightning. All of a sudden Jim goes flying past him and just keeps getting smaller.

That poor guy is prob at the speed shop buying all kinds of mods today, because he got blown away by a pickup truck.

That is just to cool.

Thumbs up

Congratulations to Kevin and Team JDM.
Those are awesome times for a truck weighing in at 4600 lbs plus.
You deserve it Kevin, your truck is leading the way for a lot of others.
Don,
As others have pointed out, we are all lucky to have you in this community, you are da man..


Keep up the good work JDM, 10 second full weight customers trucks. What's next, 9 second customer trucks?

Bill

haha

I cant wait to meet Don, anyone who can exude as much class as him from behind a keyboard is obviously a stand up guy
You obviously don't know the real Don yet

He's in a class of his own, just don't know what to call it


J/K. Don has been a huge help with my truck, as well as many others all over the north east region. Kudos to him and everyone who falls in his class.

Hope to see you posting your 10 second run tomorrow night buddy
