ok next wedsday night [june 1st i belive]at the 1/8 mile strip in kennedale tx. just sowthest of ft.worth tx. all that is to be had is braggin rights and a good time. i am picking some fights with the ford and dmax guys to see if we can get a good night together. it is 10 bucks to get in and 5 more if you want to run. pm if you need directions.

 

ok tonights the night, anyone in?

 

well i did a 9.04 at 75.68 and i missed the 3 to 4 shift so next week i am going for some 8s. not bad for a 6 speed dually 4x4.

 

Beats me. I ran a 9.27 there two years ago with my dually. 5 speed, HX40, 370's.

MPH was better. 79 MPH. I had 4.10 gears back then though.

Tires broiled the first 100 feet. I was in 5th gear before the 1/8th. LOL

i did it with the hx55 on there with the 19cm exhaust housing, talk about a lag pig. i figure there are a few miles per hour and a few tenths with a decent 3 to 4 shift. but we did have a blast and drank a few beers and plenty of bsing. but i am having some strange issues with my dual disk, the pedal starts going to the floor over 4000 rpm and up. and it took off so quick on the 9.0 run that i was at 4500 or so before i knew it and when i went to shift it was grinding like a flour mill. but we are going back next week and i am trying for so 8s. mike

 

ok who is in for this wedsday night? i have a few guys lined up allready. and i need someone to go to the dieselstop.com and pick a fight with some fords. get them to come and play.

 

I think ill probly make it out just cant decide which truck to bring mine or my dads 03 with an 100 horse chip on it. what time will yall be headin out there cause i would like to follow you there

 

i will be coming in from arlington or a friends house just south of the strip. just give me a call and i can get you there. 817-819-0268

 

are the drags every wed night?

 

well i didn't think it was possible but a 40 psi launch will spin all 6 of my 285s for 200 plus feet. but i have since retiered from the drag race scene till i get a auto in something.
they run test and tune every wensday night. 10 bucks to get in and 5 to run all you wan't.

 

This may be a stupid question, but how do you build up boost at the line with a manual?

 

it is very, very hard on the clutch. stand on the brake hard,ease into the fuel to 4k or so and start letting the clutch out, keep adding fuel and clutch till the boost goes nutz. i would not have done it but i am up grading the dual dics and all ready made a deal for new 12 puck clutchs and a flywheel insert.

 

dang Mike, already upgrading the clutch!????!?

tell Jimmy and Wes that I said hi and that we're gettin' er done out here on the road!

I went 8.72 at 83 here in Alabama,at 7960 pounds with my 03 six speed!!

 

Would changing from a 315 to a smaller tire help in 1/8 mile times. I just ran my truck this last Friday and I was able to hit 9.1 at 76mph with a 2.0 60ft time. Would changing to a smaller tire help in the 1/8th?
