I just ran it at the track for the first time i was pretty proud of it for what it has done.
60'.... 1.983
1/8....9.266
1/4....14.597@91.87

 

What all do you have done? That is pretty quick for a 5 speed.

 

That was some good gear banging.

 

Thanks. i really dont have anything much done i have a #0 plate 4" exhaust, AFE intake, and i got the GV springs turned 2 clicks thats it. I am on a stock clutch, turbo, fuel system,ect etc.

 

nice times! what gread did ya launch in? and was it it 4x4 high or just two wheel? i got a 5spd and a two disk clutch so i was thinking trying 3rd gear launch. if i can control the tires it will be good. if not it may have to be in 4x4 and would 4x4 wound out tight at the top end kill the transfer case? i am a sled puller and never done the drags with a truck. so any help would be good! and keep us up on your times when you get the injectors in and everything. id say it will be right impressive!!!

 

ive got a buddy with a 24v and he runs the 1/4 in 4x4. running about 100 mph or so, i would have thought it would have been hard on it. and it probaly is, but his still drives. Oh, wait, its in the shop putting a new 6 speed tranny and a new clutch in it because he blew up his other 6 sp.

 

I wouldn't think that it would be much harder on the t-case then pulling in 4-high. You really don't think about it but your tires are spinning at a high rate of speed when pulling. The only thing is that while pulling you are putting a lot more stress on drive train rather then just launching and opening here up. A least this is what I think, not sure but it sounds good.

 

Yes sir, I'll agree. That was some shiftering( my word) there. beat me a full sec.

ya that makes some sence about the 4x4 high thing but on the track it is about 100mph and on the sled unless its an all out truck like schied with 60-80+wheel speed trucks like mine are only seeing about 35 mph tops. i have a gear chart that has it all figured out. but ya i would say you make sence it wouldnt be much harder than pulling it. thanks guys

 

Speed should not affect your tcase negatively. think about cars/suvs that are all wheel drive, they/some can do 100+and doesnt hurt anything. I have never done 100 in the mud before but have hit 55-60 and aint hurt nothin yet, its 4x4 thats what its for. the only thing that could/might hurt it would be the launch but still doubt it, pulling is much more stressfull than racing so if you want to race in 4x4 I wouldnt worry about. Just my thoughts on the situation, no scientific evidance here

 

cool. well you all have helped me make up my mind. it will be in 4x4! and give it hell till it breaks!then fi it with better. i have already fixed it once with an upgread so why not thrash it somemore! ill let ya know when i get on the track.

 

No kidding...

I launched 4 Hi 2nd. About 10psi boost on stock charger and clucth as soon as i shift into 4th i reach down and kick it back in 2wheel and i guess when i hit the clucth to go to 5th it kicks out, I am not sure i just know the light goes out.

 

my girlfriend has a 2001 2500 quadcab 2wd shortbed with a 5 spd. it is stock and it is extremely slow compared to mine. But there is a 70 hp difference stock plus my mods.

 

hey guys i have the auto and the stuff thats in my sig. what times do you guys thing i can run? if you are hitting 14.5 with a man. tranny, and i have an auto with the tc lockup switch i'd think i could get a good time. any tips on the 1/4 mile? oct 29 will be my first time. thanks guys
