ive got an edge comp wire tapped,boost elbow,stage four edge jammer nozzles,4 inch straight pipe, 4.10 gears, built auto w/pressure loc and 3 disc billet torque converter, planning leaving in 2wd and running a 27x12.50 slick

BigBlue

Why run 2wd on slicks? Why not do a 4wd launch on your 35's? Just curious. I'm thinking you should be knocking on something in the 14's if you launch it good.

With nearly the same setep and a stock trans with like a 15lbs 4wd lauch I ran a 14.9.

dont got billet input or output shafts and dont got the money to fix it it something breakes figured play it safe

I would say you should be in the mid to high 14's. Be careful you don't get to high with the boost at the staging lanes!! FWIW, I would not go over 10lbs.!
Why? Because I broke three (3) output shafts on my 2002 doing that!

Good luck!

leaving in 4 hi or 2wd with the slicks? what would be the safest you think 2wd i think the slicks augh to hold with some boost

runamuk

2wheel drive will leave much slower than 4x4. It would, however, no doubt, be less strain on the transmission output shaft.

4x4 launch will definetly give you the best track time.

I'd say 15.5 for your first pass and improve on that.

I want slicks for my kids truck.............

yea i was thinking in the mid to low 15's

You'd be running out of RPM's in the top end with a 27" slick, methinks. Your truck starts defueling at 2700 rpm (unless you have something else thats not in your sig), which would be around 89 mph.

curts99

i was thinking the 27 would be a little short but they are free may as well try em

I run a 15.12@85 on stock shafts with stock injectors and delivery valves in my 12 valve. You should surely be in the 14's. I leave with 8-10psi and run in 4wd. Actually I think I could run a high 14 now.

curts99,

We can fix the 2700 governor springs with a 3200 spring kit in my garage You will have to buy the kit. I can also give you a custom ground fuel plate that will work!

Rick

curts99

cumminsdriver635
