1st run
2WD - 1st gear - rev on launch
16.806 @ 87.91 MPH; 60' = 2.775
2nd run
2WD - 1st gear - launch off idle
17.093 @ 88.65 MPH; 60' = 2.962
3rd run
2WD - 2nd gear - launch with rev
17.211 @ 87.15; 60' = 3.284
Said screw this, let me try a 4WD launch...
4th run
4WD - 1st gear
16.513 @ 88.5 MPH; 60' = 2.857
Kept driving kept driving, 8th run got a 16.021 @ 88.11 MPH, said I need to try one more time for a 15 second slip...finally, my last run of the night:
Got me a 15.864 @ 88.21 MPH; 2.389 60'!!!
I was beating other trucks, 1500's, Honda's, All kinds of crap tonight! :lol: Probably smoke a few people out too.
I have some videos but they're crappy, I'll see about getting them up. Not bad for a friggen 7000 pound or so truck with a manual tranny!

with 448hp and 821 tq, my 6spd truck ran a best so far of 15.3@96mph with a 2.3 60' time, that was with the lag pig turbo i had...i know now its a def bet for 14's...and next week when i get the SBC dd clutch in, ill be trying for low 14's with a slightly boosted launch
I was wondering is this time about average, slow, or pretty quick for what I have?
Thanks. I got some jackass talking about how he knows a guy with a truck that's just got a chip in his truck and runs 13's and how mine's slow and all this crap. I wouldn't mind shooting him.
