I went to the track tonight for the first time in my 2001 L. It is completely stock and full weight w/ tonneau cover. The truck had only 359 miles on it by the time I got to the track. The track is ~100 ft. above sea level and the temp was in the 50's. I made 3 runs:

Run 1:

60' 2.08
8th 8.81
8th MPH 80.82
1/4 13.69
1/4 MPH 101.19


Run 2:

60' 2.11
8th 8.74
8th MPH 81.56
1/4 13.57
1/4 MPH 101.42


Run 3:

60' 2.05
8th 8.69
8th MPH 81.84
1/4 13.51
1/4 MPH 101.77


Needless to say, I was very impressed with my times considering the low miles and my 60' times. With some 1.9x 60's I think 13.3's would have been possible.

Dennis,

The track was fairly crowded last night. I would have been able to make 1 or 2 more runs but I got there an hour late. Also, there was a 2 car crash on the track that stopped racing for an hour or so.

 

Dutchman, did you finally go to a dragstrip? Just wondering because I don't see the 12.77 or whatever in your sig. This is not a flame and I do not want to start a heated debate. I'm just interested.

It seems like a lot of 01's are hitting 13.5X to 13.6X from the factory. I know I have a 13.4X in mine with a better launch and better air. Damn impressive for a 4800 lb lead sled!

351stang,

To awnser your question.
The truck had 800 miles and no chip or other goodies.
Just Airaid and Big mouth, that I changed later.

Drive safe and good luck.

FD

 

G TECH times again or dragstrip?

 

Ray, Good luck getting an answer from him. I've been told by BIG BROTHER that I can't ask FD those kind of questions anymore .

 

Are we trying to see if this thread can be closed also ?

I did not have improper relations with miss Lewenski.

 

94LightningGal, I'm sure if I wanted to stir the pot I could make that happen for you, but I'm a changed man. Bottom line.... FD is a great guy and he should not be picked on .

Drive safe and good luck.

 

BTW, Incon306 this is your thread and I just wanted to congratulate you on your awesome results. In the future, you might also note the barometric pressure (BP) when you make a run, as it is the most significant weather condition. Documenting the BP for each outing may help ward off being discouraged if you don't have a good night (and the rest of the environmental conditions were the same). Remember, ET is traction, MPH is HP. You can have a horrible ET night (because the track is not prepped right for instance) and still have a good MPH night with perfect weather.

 

Hey Joe,

How can you find the BP for the night? Do most tracks have a gauge or something? Just curious because I was at the same track as Jeff a couple of weeks ago and I didn't see any postings like : temp, barometer, humidity, etc..

Humidity here is generally on the dry side (although not as dry as Az!). How exactly can the barometer affect performance ,like low pressure or high pressure. Thanks for the reply..
