First time at the track this year

Since last years best track time of 14.94@91.5mph I've had the valve body done and replaced the Quad race box with the new version of the Quad race box. That is it!! Nothing more.

I turned a new personal best 14.66@91.8 mph on my first run of the night!

I figured the Cummins would pull some killer 60's with all the torque, guess I was wrong. It great to see someone racing a manual.

I race a 6 speed to, not my dually though, I leave that to the SRT

yes 4x4...but i was afraid of hurting the clutch so i was slipping it from 2500rpms. this past week i went to a parking lot and tried 4 4x4 launches from about 3300-3500rpms and lets say that i figured out how to make the truck JUMP off the line, and my next night at the track should net much better results im thinking at least 14.5's @ 96

Dude, if you're worried about your clutch you shouldn't be racing.

If you want to race, you shouldn't be worrying about your clutch.

With some proper clutch abuse, you'll see your 14.5s easily, assuming your shifter cooperates.

60ft. times are what really kill me. I ran for the 1st time at a 1/4mi. track at Speedworld in PHX, AZ Saturday, and posted a best of 13.62@102.9 with little work. I ran very consistant 13.6-13.9's all day with 2.1-2.2sec. 60ft. times. I had the chance to break a 13.3-13.4 on my last run after pulling off a 60ft. time of 2.0 but forgot to deactivate the de-fuel safety on the Edge monitor. With my trap speeds, I should get low 13's once I solve my fuel starvation problem and get some practice with launching.

streetsmoker,

Looks like those DDP injectors work well!! I almost got in on their deal but not quite.

I have to get a fuel sytem, tranny, Turbo, then the nasty big injectors will be on my list!

Good luck Muck. I know I have to stop after my turbo, fuel system, and Edge Juice upgrades, cause I don't like the cost of the time and money needed to go any further.
