Post 01 Track numbers

For those that are interested....

My exact #'s from the Texas Motorplex:

1st Run @ 8:17pm:
60' 2.128
330 5.904
1/8 9.005
MPH 79.44
1000 11.706
1/4 13.994
MPH 98.57

2nd Run @9:30pm:
60' 2.133
330 5.934
1/8 9.057
MPH 78.96
1000 11.777
1/4 14.083
MPH 97.70

This is from a stock truck with 1090 miles on it. Not sure of the weather info. It felt like a cold night, but no detail on barometer figures. Very crowded, but glad I got to see.

Thanks for posting some realistic numbers. Those are pretty decent considering the track prep that the Motorplex does on Friday nights, and your low mileage. Put some miles on in the next few weeks, and you'll do much better at Hallsville.

Finally some real track numbers! The numbers look great. Those look right in line with what I would expect with the claimed hp increase.
2 days after I bought my 00, I took it to the track with 250 miles on it at about 80 degree weather and ran 14.478/14.428/14.356/14.466 and then after about 10,000 miles on a 50 degree night ran 13.8's.
Ok, so you don't know weather info as far as humidity and barometer, but what temp did your overhead console read?
Also do you know what altitude your track is?

Yes, thank you for posting REAL track #'s. I was so dumbstruck by another post, I was ready to get my guns out and shoot my modded '00 truck out of it's misery.

At 3k miles, you'll see a huge performance difference, as you probably already know.
