Exclamation Got into the 13's with a hand shaker!

I missed the diesel drags in Ennis so I headed to a closer track. I'm running Crazy Larry and the mp8 at what I think is ~60%.

First pass I forgot to air down the back tires (70psi). Launched in 2nd and got too aggressive with the clutch.

2.9 60'
10.4 1/8 @ 78.87
15.4 1/4 @ 99.49 mph

After airing down to 35 psi I cut two 2.3 60's and ran a 14.023 @ 100mph launching in 3rd and slipping the clutch a little off the line.

Last pass I aired down to 30 psi and launched in 3rd again.

2.19 60'
9.088 1/8 @ 79.52
13.933 1/4 @ 100.94

I was still getting a lot of wheel spin in the top of third gear once the clutch was locked up and the turbo spooled. I figured it would mph better, but I guess a lot of fuel is going to waste with the stock turbo. Anyway I'm happy to get a 13 second pass.

Those are great #s
Your stock turbo is really the limiter for you, however a bigger turbo will hit a bunch stronger also so then you will really be fighting traction.

Thanks guys! What do trucks with stock turbos and stock injectors usually run?

I sure would love to turn this thing into a 12 second truck, but I'm starting to get scared of the g56 not holding up, and a trans swap is out of the question.

8.28 @ 85 mph was my best for Stock Injectors, and a HE351 Turbo.
