I wish Mr 9 seconds luck. Even if he breaks his truck he will provide good feeback on development and limitations of the SRT-10. Semper Fi Mac.

That's what it will take to beat a slightly modified L.
Yes Gator is spending over a thousand in NEW Mods to ATTEMPT to beat me Saturday. I believe his Motor will blow while trying.

As for SRT Man,
To each his own, but it'll still be ugly no matter how fast it is

The fuel pumps where $300, which was needed because my truck was running lean. Something you will never know about yours, because you think your a/f numbers are good.
Just keep throwing juice at it in an attempt to be faster than me

AND HOW MUCH FOR NEW INJECTORS GOING IN THIS WEEK ???
AND THE DYNO TIME AND TUNES ???
AND WHAT ABOUT THIS 25LBS PLUS Boost you have ???

I know you are now running a 10lb lower along with a 2lb upper. 25lbs PLUS of boost, ARE YOU CRAZY PAL, that is insane.
Lower it down, or you'll be sorry.......

Like I said if you win, I will congradulate you, and then insist on a FULL MOTOR BREAK DOWN, rumors have it, you did some other things TOO your not coping to ???
CHEATER

Hmm, maybe I should borrow a KB just to show you what real cheating is about
V said he'd loan it to me for $500.00 a day

Tinman will only hold me back, maybe I can use him as a wingman.

(let me finish law school first before I get the srt-10)

It sucks that one would have to do all that to compete w/ L. #'s, especially w/ the price tag of owning the fastest production truck made.
Oh well, to each their own.
I agree with you Ron. To each their own.....I like the truck and 9 seconds has been pretty good about the flack they have been getting by some of Lightning guys.....lol Being the poster child for having the fastest 1/4 mile run posted so far.

I'd like to see him get into the 12's. He and I have gone back and fourth and could have kicked me off the SRT board long ago. I just stir the crap up here and there to keep it interesting. Keep the fire in the rivalry going.

No deliberate malice intended on my part. Really, the only way they are going to get respect from another proven sport truck community is to take it to a track. Not let them sit like a museum piece in the garage and say it's faster than a Lightning.

I'm not going to take a mag's opinion it's the best. It's to proven on the street and track!

If anything is going to break on the truck, I would have to say the clutch is a weak point! Or the Hurst shifter! I heard they had problems in the test trucks with shifters breaking by a TREMEC engineer. I belive 9 seconds has a S.P.E.C clutch that might have him concerned or he's not impressed with the results from what I read. Not sure if he added the aluminum LW. flywheel.

I hate to see these guys spend $45K+ and then spend additional $$$ to add mods to get to the performance level the truck should have been at from the get-go! IMHO.....High 12's.
