first weekend with new truck

well picked unit 1025 up friday night, had her out all weekend :D damn these trucks are a blast! had a race friday night, ran into a black LS1 T/A on the freeway, and from a 50ish roll he pulled initially untill the turbo spooled up and then i passed him very nicely :tup: it was a convert and musta been an auto with crappy gearing, being an LSx guy i don't see pulling on a modd'd bird like that. but hell i was happy! then saturday i raced my buddy in his SRT 4 from a roll, he got the jump then we were pretty well paced, i think if i would have left in 2nd and in some boost instead of in drive and just punching it, it would ahve been a better run. then obviously i destroyed him from a roll. there's nothing done to the car except a CAI, it's his DD he's got a nitrous fed 383 LS1 ta that i'm a little hesitant to run lol
But overall i'm incredably happy with the truck! can't wait to start modd'n her! gonna off the bird and use what money i get from that into the truck. I'm very glad i bought her! no regrets! :tup:

got a scan tool yet?

Not to sound like a jerk, but I have seen this story play out several times since becoming an owner in 98 myself.

New guy buys truck
New guy posts lots of racing activity
New guy starts asking why motor blew, and how to build another.
New guy has CC bill up high, or savings down low.

New guy forgets about scan tool until it is too late.

And you forgot...

New guy tries to flip truck after a year 'cause things are breaking and it's too hard to upkeep.

Re: first weekend with new truck

when racing from a roll its very important to do the "will in denver move" that is on the brakes and gas and have boost built when its time to go, Very hard on brakes and trans but also very effective.

Got several scan tools, father and I ran a body/service shop :tup:
New guy is a severe drag racing addict, has been/will be at the track every weekend. Grew up less than 4 miles from Quaker City Raceway, grew up there as a kid.
New guy expects motor to blow, but plans on replacing it before it gets to that point. New guy knows about tuning and it's the lifeblood of an EFI motor.
New guy isn't new... to the game, just this particular truck :D i know what knock is and how it will KILL an engine faster than an oil drain pan plug falling out at 65 on the freeway in a 3 speed car... :rant: (wasnt me...)

boost launches rule, just not ready to swap out the trans yet, just picked it up friday :lol: I'd like to leave it as is for at least a week or two before i start ripping into it lol.

Did price a GT35 turbo and FMIC today.... gotta do something with the money from sellin the bird :rotf:

Re: first weekend with new truck

Did you run your truck at Quaker City this past weekend for the Shop Warz? A buddy of mine was there and said he saw a Sy and a Ty racing that day. I was just curious who it could have been.
