Guess who ran...

Any details somwhere on Dig's build? How much boost did he run with?

Later,

I had about 21 psi in 1st and 2nd, and it worked up to about 22-23 by the time the 2-3 shift came around. It really doesn't want to make much more
than that with the stock plumbing in place... too many ugly crimp bends,
and the stock mufflers don't flow the best.

It's probably a good thing it didn't make any more boost in 1st, it's kind of
a tire-smoking freak as it is. Anything more than a 4 psi launch and it'll
really start killing my 60-fts. Gotta spring for the drag radials, I guess.

Time slips went pretty much like this (I had 2 that were nearly identical)

60 1.72
1/8 5.99
1/8 MPH 91.4
1/4 11.94
1/4 MPH 111.8 (other slip the MPH was 112.4)

I've had pretty much the same stuff on it for the last 4-5 years, really:

TD06H-20g/14cm turbo, inlet bell mouthed, and exhaust housing matched
to the exhaust manifold. WG canister upgraded with 810 spring.

Stock downpipe, mufflers, and tailpipe. Stock cat is now "free-flowing",
via a hammer and a long punch.

ATR FPR regulator, complete with JB-weld, due to the fact the damn
threads pulled out of the adjustment screw. ATR double-pumper fuel pump.
Factory injectors.

Stock intercooler, bell-mouthed and smoothed. Stock CCHE, with Shur-Flo
pump, Spal CCHE fan. Ford heater cooler in front of radiator for aux CCHE

K&N filter in stock factory air box, with factory crossover tube.
Stock TB with metal airfoil, bell mouthed and smoothed.

Original tires, on original wheels. (that need to be re-coated)
2" rear drop.

Original, unopened motor. Valve covers + manifolds have never been
off it.

ATR wires and Autolite 23 plugs, gapped to .028. MSD 6A, MSD Blaster
replacement coil.

Custom tuned chip, done by me. :)

Built 700r4 trans, with 9/11" converter. Big trans cooler.

4-wheel Biondo line locks. 7/8" rear brake cylinders.

That's about it. Took a long time to get into the 11s... hopefully the 11.50s
will be easier. :)

Not that it's a big deal, but I think your 1/8 mile was a bit quicker than 7.99, I seen one of your slips that was 7.6, and I thought you had a 7.5.

or you just need a local sean morris.. a relentless 80lb featherweight willing to do anything to get over a hump. he probably had the doctor drain the blood out of his body to get his truck into the 11s back in the day.

Thanks for the info guys. And again: Congrat! That's quite an accomplishment. I still don't know which way I'll go with my truck, but these are the results, that I call encouragement. :D

Peace,

Hey Mark, do you mind posting your build aswell, 11.000 WOW awsome!

BigAl...


JE pistons - Eagle rods -Comp cam (stokes grind) - APR head & main studs (still 2 bolt mains) - Stock untouched L-35 heads with heavy duty springs - Stock Intake - by accident I'm still running stock upper and lower gaskets, which cover up the ports on the L-35's a bit. - Stock untouched exhaust manifolds

PTE63E turbo - Dequick dual core - K&N filter -50# injectors - Single 255 high pressure pump - Alky injection, custom kit done by me, mostly aquamist parts. - BG 50# Chip, then tweaked by Dig and then tweaked my me.

4 BFG drag radials on stock wheels - Totally stock suspension -Built tranny by Dig with 2800 9/11 stall

Runs were made with 20 degrees of timing and 24 psi of boost, running some 92, more 110 and one .8 alky jet with denatured.

Dig breaks into the 11's and has to tell us four times! Congratulations all!

Sorry about the multi-post... posted the first one and my browser puked.
Posted the second, and my PC hung.

Eventually, I just gave up. :)

Yep. Typo... 7.599. Might have to make a run to Grove City next year
with some DRs, scare a few guys. :)

Mark, have you done any light wieght stuff, do you still have ac? Man i hope you hit 10s next visit to the track, that will be just plain sick for a stock l-35 head , stock computer, standard wieght truck hitting the 10s, big props for the canadian guys doing it also. I hope i hit 10s next time i go, i have shaved about 275lbs more off my truck and now i have a 76bb turbo which spools so fast, i cant wait to get back , soon we will have cooler air also, cooler= gooder ets :D :wink:

No AC or ABS otherwise it's full weight. I could have pulled a lot weight off at the track, like gas I had almost 3/4 tank, front sway bar, full interior, and the tailgate, but I thought I was going to run the 10 anyways, I guess we just ran out of time.

I'm sure you'll run the 10 soon, but the real question is who going to beat Hoover to the 9? I'm just guessing, but I think 9's are going to take some serious bucks, unless someone decides to spray it.

Is anybody not running the front swaybar, just for drag racing purposes only, how is it without the bar? I have taken mine out, man that thing is heavy, but have not drove it yet.

When I ran the 11.3 pass a few weeks back it was without the sway bar, I do believe it helps at the track. With the bar in my truck does the double hop, without the bar the front comes up and stays there, next time out I'm going to pull it off.
