Quickest 1st gen?

[JQmile]

SO who has the quickest 1/4 mile time for a first gen? And whoever you are, I'm comin' for ya LOL

[THE TANK]

what are you the E.P.A?

[brockw08]

I know a certain yellow 1st gen that's got a work bed on it... Don't know any times, but I believe horsepower to be in the 600's.

[KBennett]

The quickest I have seen is 13.8 with a 5-speed Getrag.

[oldschoolPSD]

what are you the E.P.A?

:hehe: :st:


Who's that guy with the 'Lil Red Express truck? He's in the 12's I think. Not a rotary pump so you guys can argue over whether that counts or not.

[JQmile]

oops yeah I meant to include VE pump....I knew of one high 12 second ride, that the fastest out there?

[TravisG]

That yellow truck Brock is is talking about has a ve pump on it I do beleive. It is one bad Mo fo.

[brockw08]

Yeah it's a bad truck, and is running a VE...... A highly modified VE, that is.

[cumminsram]

ya a 14mm ve at that

[brockw08]

This truck belongs to member KTA, right?

[smknram]

i dont know if it still is or not but it used to be a video of the yellow truck on diesel central

[THE TANK]

yeah that is KTA's truck, he can work on your truck(service body) and still beat you.

[brockw08]

Here ya go!

[SMOKIN93]

Yep, that's KTA, I think he's been high 13's, Me and I guy that goes by GLHS both have ran 13.34, that's the quikest ve pump times I have heard of.

[brockw08]

He's running a 5 speed. I think an auto would shave off some serious time.

[JQmile]

He's running a 5 speed. I think an auto would shave off some serious time.

We'll soon see, I have some $$$ I am about to throw at a 1st gen!

Goal is high 12s for $3K in mods including the trans, and yes I am cheating *nx*

[Dazed&Confused]

I bet if Brian's engine was in the little cummins express he would be in the 11s with a ve pumped truck.

[JQmile]

It takes about a 10:1 power to weight ratio (at the wheels) to run in the 11s, so with only 5000# worth of weight, I'd only need about 350rwhp on fuel plus another 150rwhp worth of spray, and there ya go--500rwhp...11s....seems too easy, so I have this feeling that it will actually be really hard LOL

[Cummins Express]

with the lil red set for the 12.00 class it makes 430hp and comes in at 4440 lbs you should be really close the hard thing is going to be your 60foots with a stock rear leave setup

[JQmile]

:banned: stock leaf springs...

mini-tub and leaf spring suspension, but far from stock....thanks for the info btw, looks like I was close on the 10:1 thing!

ready to see a VE truck go fast? :rockwoot:

[Cummins Express]

cool did not know how far you were going with it

cant wait

[J.Keith]

Heh you're not alone.

My 92 is well on it's way to (hopefully) being fast.

Billet Suncoast 47RE
Guttted (5200# longbed club cab)
II injectors and tuned VE
S400/HTT64/14SS twins
NX Dual Progressive
4 links and bags
Custom big arse intercooler
Porting and valve spring and orings and stuff

Not sure how it runs yet but I have hopes!

[JQmile]

Allright! :rockwoot: competition! I think the older trucks still have some tricks up their sleeves!

[J.Keith]

Yea I like to think so.
With JUST the tranny, PODS and pump tweaks I got a 14.9 out of it.

Bringing this one back to the top. It seems that there are several people building 1st gen drag trucks right now, so how about some updates?



oops yeah I meant to include VE pump....I knew of one high 12 second ride, that the fastest out there?

Who's been in the 12's? Quickest I have heard of is low 13's.

[JQmile]

I think J&H had one back i the day that ran 12s...I'm about a month away from getting my trans rebuilt and hitting the *nx*. I'm hoping for 400rwhp cause all it has is injectors in it still. With a 5000# weight with driver it should be close to 12s.

KTA and Stomp have both made over 600rwhp (no nitrous) with VE's, I think their motor in a lightened 1st gen (4500#) with a 47RH should be easy 11s if not 10s.

[rockjeep73]

Any updates on this one?

There is a guy from Wyoming with a '93 I believe that is running LOW 13's if I remember right. It's a red extended cab 4x4......truck flat out gets it! I've seen him quite a few times down at the track, it's impressive:rockwoot:

[LOGANSTANFORTH]

once i become rich and famous, i am going to put 2 VE's on a cummins with dual feed injectors like the 12 cylinder scheid pump guys run........


my regular cab long bed in street trim weighs 53XX with me in it and 1/8 of a tank, with some work and a little time i could easily have it under 5K with me in it........i easily had almost 200 pounds of crap in it that day besides me.....and i weigh about 330 pounds guys.....

[BC847]

I'm hoping to be in the 13's soon. :)

I recently ran 14.16 with #2 & W/M, non lock-up A518.

Wow I had the exact same idear. In fact, I've already talked to some fab shops about building a mini combining box off the back of the front cover (like a transfer case) with two pumps side by side....I guess you know what they say about smart minds....:hehe:

[J.Keith]

Well I blew the flexplate apart on mine on a 30psi launch.
Also I decided to try running a single turbo to see how that works and I'm liking it alot so far.
I'm running the II 66/16 at 45psi and its keeping things cool.

But, before the flexplate let go I got a 13.3 on my Gtech (tracks are closed around here) on a 25psi launch. So its coming along!

[Begle1]

What do you have to hook a 25-30 PSI launch?

Jeremy is new to 1st gens but not to Cummins. He will be there right with us.

Dang you suck :shake: I tried a 10psi launch today and it spun (2wd non-posi on Hoosier Quick Times) Heading to the 1/8th mile later this week to see what she'll do.

[rockjeep73]

What size are the quick times that you have? My brother used to run them on his 1st gen, he used to launch at 10psi without spinning them.

[JQmile]

Posi? How much tire pressure did he run? Also the ones I got were sitting in the back of a warehouse for like a year and a half, so they might need a few good burnouts and some VHT.

The guys at J&H were telling me about your truck, sounds like a good project to revive!

[JQmile]

Oh and the size is 28x11, so I am starting to defuel at like 65mph :bang

I believe he ran about 15psi. He was able to launch at 15 pounds of boost without spinning them, but this was also with the stock converter. His tires were 32 x 13.5, and with the 4200 spring it would do well over 100mph. Oh ya, it has a lincoln locker.

I did smokin93's pump, nothing special, just your basic VE mods.

[KTA-Cummins]

Who did there VE pumps ?
I am certain KTA did his pump, and supplied parts to Bradleys who assembled Jeremy's pump. I had old yellow running last Saturday moving it around. If all goes well this year it may be back out running hard again by the end of the year.

Hey, I'm from Sacramento too. Well, not quite, but close. Anyways I'm just starting on a truck I'm hoping will run low 15's. But that might be hindered by the fact that I'm probably going to by another first gen soons to fix and sell. Good look to ya all with them trucks. :ft:

Anybody going to go out on a limb and guess what they're going to run in their VE this year? I'm predicting 12s for me :rockwoot:

what slicks are you gonna run? size?

[JQmile]

Slicks will be Goodyear 33x10.5Wx15s....I figure they probably have the most tire technology of anything out there cause Outlaw racing has become so huge. Got some new numbers from the dyno today-- 301/628. Spray is next.....slowly but surley gettin there!

[JQmile]

SO anyhow, what are the first gen records? (back on topic)

quickest 1/8th---8.36?
quickest quarter---13.34?
best mph---110?

I actually just cheated and converted it from my 1/8th mile times.....9.6 at 73mph....2.3 60ft (yuck) need posi :bang Those times were about 40 horsepower and no nitrous ago, so hopefully they'll be better next run.

[c12h26]

I actually just cheated and converted it from my 1/8th mile times.....9.6 at 73mph....2.3 60ft

looking at my time slips when I ran 9.50s my 1/4 mile was 15.20 with a 2.00 60" so you would probably run in the mid 15s

[JQmile]

looking at my time slips when I ran 9.50s my 1/4 mile was 15.20 with a 2.00 60" so you would probably run in the mid 15s

Well I was slower by 3 tenths at the 60 ft mark, and only 1 tenth behind by the 1/8th mile, so I would have been catchin ya on your 15.20 pass....Course I'll never know for sure until I hit the 1/4. I won't really be happy till I see 12s though.

[c12h26]

c12h26 How is the little truck coming along?

The truck is coming along very good,the cage will be done tomorrow,we got the motor painted last weekend,we are going to start rebuilding the trans next weekend and get the 3.23 gears in the rear.the truck should be done before july 19 for the MDTDA at cecil county:cool:

You wont be out of gear with a 4200 spring. My brothers old 2wd went 99mph in the 1/4 with a 32" tall tire. We had it up to about 110 on the freeway and it was still pulling.

Keep us updated on when you get that thing out to the track.

[JQmile]

RockJeep--I'm worried about turning too many RPM with the 14mm, don't wanna break the truck just yet. Hey stock 600, that truck sounds like a monster, sounds like you're already a little ahead of me! As for 1/8th mile times, I talked to Adam and he said the 13.0 truck ran an 8.23. Some other guy on here I think ran a 8.36 or something, those are the fastest I know of. I ran a 9.6 but I have about 50 more hp and nitrous now, so I am hoping for at least mid 8s in the 1/8th.

[SMOKIN93]

Mine went 8.46 at 81 when I ran the 13.34 in the 2wd.

[SMOKIN93]

That was my old truck with the ve and the completely stock 3 speed.

Tom Collins truck was a 8.23 @ 85.?? in the 1/8. We'll be trying for the 12's at Ponci's.

Tom broke on his first pass on saturday, but Brad Ponci had him fixed and going that night. He stripped the splines on his forward planetary gear.

I heard they are having a Mopar Muscle Car event at Sac this weekend. Let Tom know and if he goes, I might head over that way. I'd love to run against an old muscle car with old ugly.

Ya the mopar drags are Sunday at Sac, there's also a grudgefest the night before, if you guys are gonna come out let me know and I'll see about gettin my truck out there.

That's nearly 100 HP more than what anybody else has done with a 12mm pump. Have any details on that one?

That would be raising the heck out of the bar.


Not saying it isn't possible or I doubt it, just that it is a number very deserving of elaboration.

We installed some 4krpm springs and a tweaked a 4200 gov spring to work so that it would fuel longer for the drags (3spd, non OD) Stock HG and bolts (for now...) small WSB (57mm) trick custom intercooler with water/meth and a custom nitrous system. He ran a couple of 13.0's before the springs and was running out of fuel. We fixed it for Ponci's and he broke the tranny on the first pass (BRAD IS THE MAN and got him going that night!) Brad's crew tweaked the timing on Sunday and got the big number of of it.

stomp worked on the pump for abt 3 hrs sunday at brad's before the dyno run. when i took it for a test it was like a different truck. ran good before but now-better . thanks jeremy, brad, joe. 578,1200 lifted abt 3200 no fueling issues anymore. race wt is 5650# going to try to get to sac on the 19th of oct. any guesses?

[JQmile]

I'll guess mid 12s....as far as power goes, nitrous goes a long way...that truck is spraying a lot of it, and the other 450rwhp or so numbers have been on fuel, that's why this truck is making big power like it is ;) Looks like barring unforseen difficulties, you guys will be the first in the 12s. Got a steel planet in it now?

[tcs 91]

yeah, brad had a good planetary on hand put in some other parts. should be better now. still has a single flexplate though. he didn't have a double on hand. that could be a trouble spot. can't make sac this wknd will try for the 19th at the truck races.

[tcs 91]

in answer to begle's question, really there's nothing outrageous on the truck everything just works well. have a good water/air, snow, some nitrous, air dog 100 put a b@m megashifter in after my last run i think that's the best 200 i spent was lookin forward to runnin at samoa but didn't happen. dyno showed the fueling problems i was having have gone. looking forward to sac. ran good there in july. nitrous works just a well on these 1st gens as anything newer. you just have to have fuel. not a black cloud of smoke behind you.

[SMOKIN93]

Ya, I'm gonna wait till the 19th to take mine out also, thinking I might be able to get an 11.99 out of it, you should come up JQmile.

[JQmile]

I'll think about it, I should have my lift pump and nitrous all working by then.

[tcs 91]

going to the calc on this site shows 5825#[ w/ me in the truck and 580hp at 11.8. interesting, huh?

[JQmile]

That's with a super good 60ft time though, like on drag slicks and in 4wd ;)

265x75 16's, 4wd

[SledYanker]

We got a full manual in it now and hoping to see how it shifts later

What kind tranny you running?

I need one good for 1000hp.

[SledYanker]

Been down a $20-25k road twice now with a 600 horse PSD, making the change to a p-pumped 12v.

Destroking, I can throw all the rods I want this way and not break the bank...

[SledYanker]

BTW, where'd the plate/adapter come from for the turbo 400?

I've got a BTS that'll hold it's own but I want away from the electronics...

Tom Collins (tcs91) just ran a 12.66 at the truck drags in Sacramento today, I think we have a winner!

[RonA]

Congratulations Tom! I tried to make it to Sac., But broke down in my driveway. Glad to hear you did well.

Ron

[12vchevydually]

[JQmile]

You and me both man! :doh: well, 12.66 is the new time to shoot at!

[Erik@LCD]

thanks everyone . it felt real fast. i had a 67 442 and ran the 68 season. 2 sponsors. ran top stock on a 12.92 ntl rec. best time was 12.85. could win most of the time against the factory guys. now my diesel daily driver is faster and gets 20 mpg. it's just plain nuts!!!!:Cheer:

[SMOKIN93]

hey no problem, I'll help out a first genner anytime! I got video when we raced and you ran the 12.66, it's not very good but I'll get it on here.

Looks like your having some fun Tom. When I talked with Brad that was one of the first things that I asked him. How did Tom do? He told me that you ran a 12.66. Congrats that is awesome. Dang I wish my old toad went that fast. If you ever make it up again let me know. I still might have a few tricks up my sleve to make that thing go even faster.

Way to go Tom! All you need is a lock up trans and that thing may go 11's.
