I want to see some of your 0-60 times, just to see how slow I am!!

With Juice off, my best is 15.6 seconds.

With Juice 5x5, my best time is 10.5 seconds = 33% faster!!

And I'll bet one of you auto guys will post like 5 seconds huh!

My injectors just came in the mail so this weekend I will do some more comparisons with my new injectors.

Did you get that reading from the Juice? I have found those to be really inaccurate.

I dont have any real accurate #'s from just 0-60, but my 1/8th mile is a 9.5 at 71mph. So Im gonna guess about 7 seconds to 60 for me...

What gear are you starting in? 15.6 seems way too long, even running out of first, unless your clutch is real slow.

Big Blue24

I started in second gear, but my clutch did smoke hard yesterday. Dan at Valair has a new feramic one in transit as this one only lasted two months. His customer service rocks.

I tried a test with my room mate using his stop watch and the Juice was right on.

I'm still working on my shifting, someday, I'm gonna have a 13 second manual tranny cummins. Right now it looks like I've got a 20 second 1/4 mile truck!!

sounds pretty sloww to me...IMO..if i wanted a drag racing truck i would have bought an automatic.

Big Blue24

Yeah, i didn't know anything about diesel racing when I bought this truck, I just got it cause all of the cummins' powered dodges had like 300-500k at most of the local lots so I knew they were great motors! I got the 5spd short box for better mileage. Now, I wish I had an auto so my soon to be wife could drive and maybe when she felt the power, she would let the bombs fly.

Are standards any good for sled pulling?

0-60 is a gasser thing, IMO. Never checked it cause the needle went by too fast
Now, 0-100 mph is worth looking at. How's 12 sec sound?

10.5 sounds slow to 60 mph.... only need one shift, right?

Not just good...better.

There's a lot more than one shift needed to get to 60 in these trucks. With my buddy's 5spd on 40's with 3.54 gears (means lots of hangtime in gears) he's in 4th gear by the time he's at 60mph.

What's the factorys stock 0-60mph time for 98.5-99 24v 215hp automatic version 4x4? I think I saw 16.5seconds somewhere...

I'm hoping that mine would be way faster than the new stock ctd ram with my tst pm3,dtt trans,4" exhaust and bhaf.

gunracer1

one shift for me, start in third and shift to 4th. this is in my dually with 3.54s and a 6 speed. i have run 9.0s in the 8th at 75mph, with just 3rd and 4th.

pmtg

did he recalibrate the speedo? 4th gear seems high for 40's and 3.54's. i cant say with 100% confidence, but i believe my 5spd w/ 3.54's and 265's that 3rd gear would be enough...maybe not tho...hmm...got a goal for tomorrow!

edit: according to online calculators i wouldnt be able to with my setup, i'd need 4th

Big Blue24

I'm starting in second, running out third, and then running out fourth gear to hit 60. I have 3.73 gears, 35" tires, and 5 spd. In fact, the Juice defuels at 2700, not Hot yet, right at 60-65 MPH in fourth. I'm waiting to see if Quad is going to let me Beta Test his new race module before I spend another 125 bucks. Quad's new module will make more power, due mostly to its true 32 bit processor which can fuel based on more parameters and use a bigger/more complex fueling curve to optimize output from the VP. Might even tickle 180 HP increase on some trucks.
