fast diesel drag racers, 60' times
i am arguing with a friend of mien and he says a 7600lbs truck will never get a better 60' than 1.9
i was only at 370hp/800tq when i ran a 15.5@86mph with a 2.1 60' launching 1st gear 4x4
i know there are some faster trucks out there launchin in second gear that are pulling beter than 1.9's and running in the 12's and 13's
so please any guys who can give me some 60' times from fast trucks...i need proof

i have done 1.9s launching in 3rd gear with my excab dually 4x4, 6speed in 4x high range. if you want to see a bunch of good 60' times check out the dmax guys, a bunch are in the 1.7s. but i can tell you a 40 lbs launch in 3rd gear will light up all 6 of my 285/75/16s. i need to let some air out before i try that again. a good auto truck that has a full billet set up can smash right past 1.9 60's.

how do you build 40psi to luanch with a stick...i cannot build more than 3-5psi without the load on the motor
of course i do need a better clutch to be able to do all that...but the clutch, a big single, and a bigger fueling box is coming this winter.

I went 1.79 a couple of weeks ago at Rockingham only launching at 12 lbs. I believe Opie has launched at 40lbs of boost that netted him a 1.51( he was testing his shafts) A 1.90 is easy in 4wd, anyone with a auto and billet shafts and 400hp should be able to surpass that. Tim

I have run a 1.61 60' launching at 22 lbs of boost. Any more boost and I'm spinning. With some 12" wide sport compound tires and good rubber on the track I could boost higher and probably improve.

I cut 1.8's in my street truck, mostly for reliability.
Darren currently cuts 1.50 to 1.51 in his 10 second truck.
That would be 1.67 average G's to 60 foot, and 0 - 54.5 mph in 1.5 seconds.
And to think Diesel's are slow.

stand on the brake, with your foot on it side ways, with your toe on the fuel, rev it to 4k or so and start letting the clutch out. keep adding fuel and slipping the clutch.boost builds real quick but very hard to maintain a repeatable set up.
