hey guys, iv had my truck a few months and iv done quite a few things to it already.... I took it to the track one time and it was actually my first time track expierence ever... I think i did ok, but prolly could have done better... I ran a 8.6 in 1/8

now, Iv added a ftvb and ported eaton... im gonna get a chip reburn and then go back to the track... pretend Im a perfect driver... what is my truck capable of in 1/8 and 1/4 ???

mods are in sig

 

Your 8.6 in the 1/8 probably works out to about a 13.2-13.3 in the 1/4, depending on your mph.

With a ported eaton, you may get into the 12's. It would help to know your 60' times. Rule of thumb is that a 0.1 sec. improvement in 60' equals 0.2 sec in the 1/4 mile.

 

well like I said, it was my first time ever and I know I can improve on it... I dont remember the exact 60' time... but I know it was over 2.1

 

It's a must for you to work on your 60's .. It is possible to run 1.8's on F1's, but there are variables there also... with your mods and kool temps you should see 12'sss ......... Good Luck

Yep, 60' times are the hardest but also most important times to work on. The launch is everything in this truck.

I have gotten a 1.94 on a fairly crappy track, so as Blown93 said, 1.8's are very possible on a decent track.

You should be in the 12's (1/4 mile) or 8.2's (1/8 mile) fairly soon.

 

Boy, by the title of this post I thought it was going to be one of those Amazing Carnac tricks

 

My last time out with similiar mods plus a 2.80 upper I ran a best of 8.12 @86 with a 1.85 60' on stock F1's.

All those mods wont get you better times unless you can get that 60' down.
try this (running stock tires not slicks):
-Heat up the F1's a little it does make a difference.
-Launch from a dead idle (foot OFF the gas)
-At launch time go about 1\2 throttle, just enought to get you moving, then punch it.


It will feel wierd the first time you do it that way (it did for me) you have to control that desire to just mash it on green.

With a good 60' you will see low 8's in the 1\8th maybe high 7's which is what I'm shooting for this season. BTW: My ported blower is due in this week.

 

I do what 0light1 pretty much said and I pulled low 1.9 60 ft's on my F1's.

 

Ran the time in my sig at full weight into headwind w/ a 1.89 60ft on F1's. Only mods were chip, 4# lower, modded airbox, and Lakewoods. That was at 398 RWHP

 

I ran an 8.54 on F1's with just a chip and a filter with a 2.02 60'. I have added a 4lb lower and lakewoods. Man i need a little more but I want a 7.99.
