I pulled a 1.789 60' with a '03 CC DRW Dmax/Allison last weekend @ 7700lbs & 15psi. The Dodges were running ~13.6 were getting 1.7 60' @ 15psi on stock shafts. We did shatter a stock flex plate in one of them earlier in the season.

Why would you use the parking brake??? There is no reason to.

My best 60' was a 1.76, that was a 13.66 pass launching from about 18psi.

1.9's?? What are you running on, compact spares? I believe that's the worst short time I've ever heard of for low 11's. You probably have a ridiculously high trap speed. Gotta be making a ton of power to run those times with that kind of short time.

My best 60 is a 1.66 with a 25 psi launch but I usually launch at 15 psi and pull 1.75s. The truck is to inconsistent launching at high boost. It will pull consistent 13.0s during the hot part of summer with an easy 15 psi launch. With the harder launch I've ran a 12.84.
