Times sound really good to me... 1.8's on F1's is excellent... I wouldn't change anything maybe add a set of slicks and JL ramair kit and it should put you into the mid 12's...

Later, Justin

Dammitboy......

I'm envious! Those are great numbers--'short' and 'long'. Must be a well prepped track?

1.899 60' at New England Dragway, now that is impressive. I was there Wednesday night and could only do 2.105 60'. I didn't think the track was in that good shape. My friend in a 01 LS1 Z28 had a worst of night 60' of 3.101. Anyway good times.

JUST WANTED TO MENTION HOW I GOT 1.8 SHORT TIME
I POWER BRAKE TRUCK TO THE POINT JUST BEFORE WHEELS
SPIN I LET OFF BRAKE BUT DO NOT PRESS GAS LET THE TRUCK
LEAP FORWARD THEN ROLL ON THE THROTTLE AS FAST AND
SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE NOTE TIRE PSI 27 AND NO BURN OUT
JUST SPIN TIRES TO REMOVE ANY SAND GOOD LUCK

Nice runs, especially durrig the day. I was ther last night and did a 12.82@ 106.38 with a 60" time of 1.884 on the F1's at 25 psi.
I left the line at idle and just push it smoothly to the floor, this seems to work best for me.

I know the truck has more in it, I was using my old mild street chip last night, since I have not got my stronger flip chip back from JDM yet.

If I were you I would send the superchip to JDM for a reburn, his programs are awsome, I bet that would help you drop your times.

This is what I was running last night to get these times.
JDM street chip
JDM Filter
JDM electric Fan
JDM line mod valve
NGK plugs
Magnaflow Muffler I don't thin it helps at all, but sounds cool.

and Sals Cal tracs, but they are comming off and I am putting JDM lift bars in there place. These Cal tracs are driving me nuts, I have gotten better 60" times without them, and all they do is rattle if you leave them on around town. I don't crank them up much at all, I just snug them up so I won't blow up my drive shaft.

You should check ot JDM's traction bars they are awsome.

Hope to meet you some friday evening. It is a fun time and a bunch of us go there.
