Drag racing
Well I went to the drag strip close by tonight. The track is just 1/8 mile. It was the first time I took my truck to a legal race and I had a pretty good time nonetheless. My best RT was .523 and ET was 9.8 at 74 mph. My best 60 ft time was 2.324.
It's a truck, so I'm alright with the results. Especially the RT since it was near perfect. I'm seriously now considering getting a Black Bear tune since I now realize how much torque I loose with the torqe management shifting into 2nd. I had this 2010 Mustang GT beat until I hit 2nd gear, then it wasn't until right before the finish line that I had crept back up on him. I'm curious to see what everyone else's times have been in the past so post up! |
Isn't it great that these newer trucks can be used for work and play!!!! A buddy of mine has about your same set-up only his is a 5.3 and I can't believe all the cars and truck he beats out there. Some of those big bad diesels have even left with their tail between their legs. He has run a low 15 second quarter which isn't bad for a big ole crew cab truck!!! Have fun!

Not bad.
i ran last night a best of 9.72 @ 74.46 with a 60ft of 2.36. the truck was running a consisitant 9.75. it was high 70's and humid. the 295's are killing me. |
I see what you mean about the tires. I have all terrain 265/65s that hurt me as well. I see that our 60ft times are really close and your custom tune HAS to be the biggest factor in you having a faster ET than mine. How much torque management did you have changed with the custom tune?

i removed 85%.
on stock tires from what ive read, i should be 9.6 or so with high 70's temp. my 295's put my effective gear ratio at about 3.73 need a good 60deg evening, i could probably hit 9.5's |
1/8: 7.5 @ 92
1/4: 11.82 @ 115 :d |
