I don't know what it runs - there were no times.


vs 9.90 GTR
end of track vs 9.90 GTR

vs 10 sec malibu drone footage
vs 10 sec malibu from the line..


vs 1200hp lightning drone footage


this was 60psi, 1450 egts, no nitrous - was having traction issues launching over 15psi.... 6psi of air in the slicks 32x14.5x15.... im sure there is room to grow :)

had a ton of fun... drove it to the track 2.5 hours away, swapped tires on, raced all weekend, swapped tires back, then drove home... no issues.

That whole track is sketchy as hell. The drone videos are freaking awesome. Too bad it wasnt closer with some sound.

the track is actually an airport... haha... at an event called Race Wars.... so yeah, it's more of a "street prep" thing.

I wish the drone had audio, but all you would hear is the propellers... :(

Whats the fueling setup on the truck? It definitely has more in it with some more fuel!!!

6psi in the slicks, thats crazy for a heavy truck like that, was it drifting around on the topend at 100+ MPH? My truck starts feeling weird on the top end when the slicks are below 12 psi...

Looks like a pretty fun little rig. How was it doing on traction?

N/m missed a post:bang

Nice build! Get that thing to a track so we can see what it can really do! Lol

actually, come to think of it, it felt fine in the top end... i have had other vehicles that are floaty, but the truck felt fine..

i think you saw the fueling setup in the other thread where i am looking for advice. thanks!! :)

What did you do for front suspension? Did you cut out coils? looks like 1.5 coils cut out?
