11 second day

Well sort of. First run 11.951 Followed by 12.144, 12.016, and 12.094. I'm a happy camper. Truck feels strong. Not going for any records but it's fun running this quick. 20# boost, pump gas, alky turned on. Virtually -0- spark retard.

Congrats!
Seems like that better matched turbo is really helping out.


What was your fastest MPH before this last rebuild?

Re: 11 second day

Launches were in the 2300 range. Historically my truck has done better with lower RPMs at launch. But with this motor I'm starting over.

And an outside vid:

Nice runs Don. It's always a good feeling when the truck goes faster after a few mods.

That track is interesting that your racing at. They don't make you take off your center caps and it's Very downhill.

Looks good for the forst time out with new engine. 116mph is good enough for mid 11's. Once you get it dialed in, it should be a consistent 11 sec truck.

The slip is posted.

They don't make me take the caps off 'cuz they know me and I have an ETI "Extended Technical Inspection" sticker which means after an initial inspection and filling a form I can skip tech after that.

The track is not downhill. It's an optical illusion caused by the uphill run-off. It has to be fairly flat I imagine because NHRA stops here on their western swing.

red lighted, doesn't count!

congrats on the 11s Don! Ashame you can't hear your truck in the vid. Fast truck for being so quiet.

It's quiet because I have an RPM full length 3" tail pipe. Without it it sounds good but a bit loud. Since I have tinnitus I don't want to make it worse. Dosen't seem to effect performance.

Re: 11 second day

Nice Don! Your MPH is good enough for low 11s. How much psi did you launch at?

Sorry, reading DMs Launch boost was in the 4.5-5 lbs range. Jumps to about 15.5 when shifting out of 1st then slowly creeps up to just under 20 at the end of the pass. What's interesting, you guys are gonna shoot me for this, I have NO boost controller. Turbo feed goes directly to the WG controller. NOTHING in between.
