Thumbs up New Member to 12 sec. club

I made two runs last night at Englishtown all in street trim, Stock F1's, 93 octane pump gas, and on the street side of my flip chip.
Here are the results:

Run#1 Run#2
R/T.... .557 R/T..... .522
60'.... 1.913 60'..... 1.999
330... 5.385 330..... 5.473
1/8.... 8.225 1/8...... 8.301
MPH... 84.97 MPH.... 85.74
1000.. 10.687 1000.... 10.758
1/4.... 12.777 1/4...... 12.843
MPH... 107.78 MPH.... 108.11

It does help having Jim and the crew of JDM tuning and working on your truck. They installed 373 gears, JDM Electric fan, Cobra R Water Pump, JDM Lower Blower pulley with cage and bearing, and the Single Blade Throttle Body.
I had a great time down in Freehold, NJ the last few days, The truck is stronger then ever and I guess it's time to get some sticky tires and try the race program.

Fly Helicopters, That would be cool Yes I was on the street program with pump gas and my stock tires. I was very happy with my times. Being a helicopter pilot you should be able to keep up with my mods. Maybe you could fly that Helicopter up here, you could take me for a scenic flight and then I could take you for a scenic flight on the asphalt.

Bill,
I'd love to Bro! Army would probably miss a $30 million Attack Helicopter. They don't pay as well as I wish they did!! It would be a fun ride for you I promise. If you ever get to Savannah, I'll see what I can do!! Rob

Question

One more question. Did you like the S/B Throttle body? That's another mod that looks pretty neat. I like the fan as well, but I am not good at wiring. Man's got to know his limitations. Just wondered if you could tell any difference with the Throttle Body. Thanks, Rob

Rob,
I notticed the throttle body right away, instant throttle responce. A must have mod and it only takes about ten minutes to change.
An attack Helicopter, Thats an awesome job, plus you get paid to do it. cool.

Autorotations, settling with power, main rotor rpm recovery, IFR conditions.....just some of the wonderful procedures associated with piloting a rotary wing aircraft.

Guarenteed to make a sweat a little!

Way to go man!!!!! I heard all about your run yesterday at VMP when we called Jim to tell him about our runs! I think I am shooting for the pulley next and see if I can get pushed up into the low 13.00s. It was terrible at VMP toward then end of t&t, we were all losing on our times. Totaled last run was 13.00, which is kinda bad because that truck is capable of 12.50s consistently. Well, I know that Brian K and I are planning a couple of track trips for the rest of the summer and I think Cecil and E Town are part of the trip so I'll see ya around!

Great times and congrats... I hope to join you and Totaled in the 12's next time I get it out.
Lets hope we all get better air next time... and if we could be patient enough to let these beasts cool down correctly I am sure it would be even better, but its too much damn fun to sit and wait...

Hey Totaled, them damn lugs were hot werent they?? wouldnt be so hot if you cruised on down to the top fuel turnout road... I mean come on man, you are going almost 110 when you let off.. time to get you a chute!!! for intimidation only of course...

12's soon guys........JJ

Congratts nice runs you bum. I was at the track friday night and just missed the majic 12's by a tenth again. Man there were some fast cars there friday. I even got beet by a girl, oh well she was running a old mopar that did 10's. I have never been beet that bad before while running low 13's.

Bill when I saw that the pullies were in Sat morning I left Jim a message, and told him to give you a pulley for me, I don't know if he got the message before you left.

Great job and will see you at the track soon.
Don

Okay, okay- I'm impressed...but HD, you realize that you better not leave me and John893 alone with your truck next time we're up at N.E.Dragway with all the go-fast goodies you got now...jk. I guess that trip down to see JDM was worth it after all- I'm thinking about it more and more everyday. Did they use a dyno when they were tuning it? What did you pull for #'s (not that 12.7's aren't indicative enough on F1's and pump gas). How long did the whole tuning deal take (couple hours, days?). Questions, questions, questions. Anyways, congrats again...and hopefully we WON'T get a chance to line up at the strip...haha. later...
