playin' at Commerce.......

Went to Commerce this weekend and had a blast. I was able to make 9 runs down the 1/4 and never left the 13's. I'm sure my truck can be into the low 12's if i were to take off the 37's and run smaller tires. We'll see how that goes next season.

I was running the Bully Dog 2.4.1 but, believe it didn't give me all the power I could have used. In fact, I lost a horse and some torque on the dyno using it as opposed to the Smarty. I was pretty mad also that I needed a " code " from BD to deal with the torque management. With it disabled I could have done better on my 60ft times and maybe even ET's. What's with having to call them.... I paid for the box.. it should have come with it.

I never installed the Smarty at the track do to it's ridiculous amount of timing. Before going to the track I tried all the beta's and none did very well on my truck. Don't get me wrong, I always liked the smarty and it works great on a stock truck but, with a engine built like mine.... it didn't play well. I may have hit 12's using it but...at what cost ! I am looking forward to seeing what Marco will do with any newer softwares.

Anyway, I have a line on a different set up with different electronics which I think will get me to those 12's easily.

I managed to make it into the second round of eliminations in the ET bracket and then red lighted against one of the TS performance truck. I would have had him

here's the ticket from my best run and the dyno sheet. I only had the speed limiter on the BD set to 120mph or the dyno result would have been better. It died at 120mph... not bad though for a 8900lbs truck lifted 6"s on 37's.

3:73 You're correct... for a truck as big as it is. The gearing and a few other things I have in mind will put me to the low 12's very soon. If I can break 11's, now that will be a feat ! It's a goal that's not out of the question though. I think a Mega will only go down the track so fast though so my goal is the trucks limit what ever that might be.

Thats what i have in mine is 3:73..i wish i had 4:10s cause i want to run 37's. You will definately hit low 12s with 4:10s though, thats insane its that fast with a high gear like that. Keep at it and you will get there...very nice truck bud.

Nice!! That truck looks killer on the strip.

I had too much left to do on my truck to make it this weekend.

I've got another round of mods in the near future too which will take the truck outta my hands yet again. But it will be soooooo worth it.
