One thing led to another. Build thread.

Spun, got out of the groove, spinning went to hopping, but I stayed in it and we got a decent number. Single turbo, fuel only, 1500us. The weather was good today, so that was a plus. Cory is already working on solutions to keep the chassis working as we add power.

Great job man! I was joking with Cory that I should put you went 9.80 at 149 because that is a more believable "diesel" timeslip.

Yeah man!!!! Congrats. How does she feel when she is pulling without the hopping?

What was your race weight?
 
Nice time slip JP ! That things getting it ! I will be anxious to see how much more you can get out if it.

The track wasn't great yesterday. A couple track regulars couldnt get down the track on a nitrous tune without nitrous! When the truck sticks it is a breeze to drive. When it spins and you're trying to stay in it for your licensing pass, it's more, ummm, exciting. No weight for the truck yet. Any guesses?

Thank you. It picked up 7 mph in the 1/8 going from tune 1 (1250us) to tune 2 (1500us). We only made one pass at 1500 and it wasn't pretty. I'll post the vid shortly. We'll get the suspension dialed at that level before we bump up the fuel a little more. After that we'll add nitrous.

Thank you. We didn't have the hood off at all yesterday. Just pulled it out of the trailer, made 3 passes, and loaded up. All credit to cory at dow brothers (rockjeep73) for that!!

Thanks man! People at the track didn't know what to think of it. The track guy wouldnt let us on the scale because it was a truck and trucks are too heavy, and the tech guy said we didn't need an nhra license for it (as in he didn't think it was capable of 9.99 or better).

Yes. I will have a guess. I'd love to say under 3500 lbs. However, I'm gonna go ahead and range it and await further clues. She'll hit right in the middle of 4000 lbs. Give or take a hundred pounds. lol

You've done an absolute outstanding job on one thing that led to the other.

That is to funny! Way to make them eat crow!

I have followed this truck from the beginning. Well done!
 
I watched the video again...that was a nice pedal job when lock up threw you sideways! Tech guy didn't think it would run 9.99? Parachutes cost money man, sucker isn't on there for looks!
