Well after 4 years since the last hook in 2006 and hooking WS at the local brush pulls here in Indiana, the best hook at that time was 260 with open carriers all the way around. Well one thing came in the way of the continuing build....Purdue University.
So after 4 years of slowly gathering parts, and having to replace a blown turbo in the mix along with a clutch rebuild/Emergency Room trip over a Spring Break, it took one week of thrashing after work to get everything together for another Brush Pull to see how it was running against some of the 2.6 trucks in the area.
Needless to say, the nerves got the better of me at coming out with the sled. Ended up leaving the line at about 3,300(It's a VP truck with no Redline...I ran out of time to get that on there) and instead of going pedal down, went aeound 100 ft before realizing it was only about 3/4 throttle or so. Other than that, everything felt pretty good and drove it home unscathed other than the 12:00 AM TSC parking lot rear U-joint shield takeoff. Final distance was 266.8. I think 315 to 320 won it, I can't remember. I know the truck has a little bit more in it, and I'm planning on finding out what that is before I go to a P-Pump.
In the video, you can see when I figure out I'm not trying to shove the pedal through the floor. It kills me every time I watch it.
Things on the to do list still: front locker in, Redline on, and some other various tweeks before I let it eat again.
