hey check out my sig, what should i be runnin in a 1/4 mile i havent tried it yet. thanks for any opinions!

 

Depends on what size tires and injectors but I would say yes low 13s

 

I say 13's, high or low depends on your reaction time, 60ft time and amount of fuel that you can burn and stay with low egts

 

The only way to know for sure is to go run it. I have seen some weird things happen with what was supposed to be a winning combo. I am going to say 13's after you run it a couple of times.

There are WAY too many variables yet to determine what you will run. The most important (driver) is the big one. I know a lot of guys that have 11-12 second cars (or so they think) and once they cross the 1320 with a high 14 or even 15 they are extremely disappointed. Do not set yourself up for disapointment.

 

A friend of mine ran consistent low 14s and one high 13 (excellent reaction time and 60ft) with stock 04.5 quad cab short bed with AFE intake and Edge Juice (not HOT) only. But all trucks, tracks, and tricks work differently. Take it out and run it and let us know how you do. Then we won't have to play this guessing game...

 

Low 13s maybe, it doesn't say 4x2 or 4x4 or tire size. The mods are enough to be in the low 13s. 6" lift and big tires will have an effect on your launch as will 4x2 or 4x4. Good launch and 60' under 2.0 should net low 13s.

 

Have you been to the track yet? If not I would expect the first couple runs to be slower. Once you get it dialed in, work your reaction time down, then 13s. Unless you are swinging a really big set of tires...

 

Reaction time will have nothing to do with your 1/4 time, you can sit there for 2 minutes with a green light if you want and still run a low 13, time dont start untill you cross the line. Only time it matters is when your racing against someone then you better be good

 

I think most guys when they say RT they rally mean getting out of the hole. All of us know the 60' is where it is at for a good time. All the rest of the track is all motor.

 

i havent had it on the track yet, i have a set of 35's and 33's. i did do some 4x4 drags at some locall truck pulls, and i did great! i was hoping the truck could get a high 12. maybe with some more mods or something.

 

Don't be to alarmed if your first pass has a 3 second 60 foot time....The first 60 feet are most of what matters at the strip. Get the "60" right and things will fall into place.

I wouldn't worry about your reaction time for a while as it will naturally progress as your driving technique improves.
There is a lot to think about when you go to the line for the first time!

If you run better than a 15.0 you will be doing good on your first pass.

You ain't Bobby-Ricky!

 

I ran 13.6 with my mods. It was my first time at the track and was having a hard time building boost. I am thinking with good boosted launches I should be right at 13

 

I did 14.3 first time at the track (first launch was junk)...and 14.00 the next two times (1.85 60')...you have a better turbo and injectors (mine are stock), and 1" bigger tires....i would think you should dip into the 13's with ease...think 12.x is pushing it.
