No trailer queens here.

No trailer queens here.

Thoggs came in on a trailor, so did the other fastest Gen1 that was red...
Talked to Thogg also and he said he only lived 15min from the track...Said he wouldn't drive it cause he keeps race gas in it.... hmmmmm

"hmmmmm" WTF does that mean?? He drives it to meets and races all the time. So he trailered it last night. Who gives a shit and what difference does it make how the truck got to the track?? It was my red G1 that was on the trailer. 120 miles round trip for me and I brought 4 folks along. Why drive 2 when I can drive just 1. I still don't see what possible difference it makes how the truck gets there.

Its prudent

Oh Boy, I love it.....here come the trailer queen excuses. :d:d:d

They'll find an excuse for anything.

How bout we just call it even, set up another event and go about our merry way of organizing said event and have some more fun.

You guys won the organized portion 9 to 7, and we had the fastest truck there by a mile. I say its fair to say we were all pretty much even if you look at it that way. Both sides had fast and respectable trucks there. We just happened to have the fastest one. :d

Just don't make the trailer excuses. You makes yourself look foolish doing it.

So you where the other that was trailored, Thogg was trying to get you to run me before the night was over, but yours was already loaded up I guess. Maybe next time. Most of the trucks that are trailored aren't streetable "hence trailor queens", some may be the case, some not, and some are pushing the limits and could break at any minute. Not trying to make you upset. unfortunately none of our quicker trailored trucks showed up due to whatever reason.

Like I said the trailer excuse is weak. Both trucks are streetable. I helped load and unload one of them, and followed him and his family of FOUR down to the track from way up north of dallas.

Next....:burnout:

If I recall you didn't bring shit? No truck just mouth!!:eek: When my truck comes out is ready to run all out race fuel, full boost, full bottles. My trucks does the talking for me. I wonder what you would have said if I drove it 15 mins to the track? "Your slicks are too big, you don't have A/C, your tags are out, ect."

Please get your truck ready so you wont have to talk so much and when it's ready I'll come to you for the right $$.:tu:

Im not making excuses. I had a 6hour round trip, my truck is daily driven, runs 11s and gets over 15mpg. Its been built to be enjoyed. The count we ended up with was chebys 32 and fords 7, that includes organized portion and before/after the socalled organization. Really didn't think it was even. YES thoggs truck was the fastest, much props to him, takes alot to run low 10s almost 9s. But thats it besides Thoggs and Shiners.

Now the daily driver and mpg excuses.:d....oh boy. Give it a break bud. Go back over and hang out with your chebby boys. That stuff really doesn't matter over here.

Don't you guys have some more of those "This is what my truck will beat in the 1/4 mile lists" to make???? With your lambos and all that other jazz on the list that wasn't even built for the 1/4. :d

My bad. I thought you were the guy from Austin that like to rum his mouth more than run his truck.

Nice run. But this trailer queen stuff is getting old. I bet if you had a truck/trailer, you wouldn't have drove your truck to the track.?

[coley]

Well it is great fun to drive to the track and drive home but some early morning about 1am when your wheel, tire and half your axel are sittin over by the guard rail a trailer might look pretty good.....been there, done that! Chevy or Ford or whatever, they all break brother.

[duckysbht]

ZEUSSVT...your truck was NOT there. So stop talking like you did something. Because you didn't.

haha oh THOGG was the guy that came up to everyone acting like a ricer...

THOGG "Hey so whos your faster guy here"
Me "Well I cut a high 12 so obviously its not me. All of our trucks are lined up in the lanes, so pick you poison"
THOGG "Well um we wanna get this even"
Me "Well where is your truck dude"
THOGG "its back there somewhere'
(Sounds like a ricer to me)
THOGG"Well we wanna get this evenly matched bc the tech guys ****ed us all uP'
ME"Well obviously we don't have a 10 second truck here. The dude in front of me, and the dude behind me(dbrods) has run 11s. So if you wanna run them have at it"

THOGG is a straight up ricer. AFTER he ran.. 6-7 ls1truck.com guys are standing around his trailer where his trailored truck and he was being a really nice guy, he wasn't acting like a douche at all.

He was actually being a really nice guy, and holding an INTELLIGENT conversation with us. But now he sounds pretty tough. The chevy that lined up wasn't afraid to line up next to you. You ran a 10.1.. Ive never hit 10s in my life but I wouldnt be proud of that when I know trucks that are capable of running those times without being trailored 15 min from where they live...

Our guy got beat. WE KNEW BEFORE THE ENTIRE SHIN DIG THAT TALON WOULD HAVE THE FASTEST GUY OUT AT ENNIS. Your next fastest guy who was Shiner, put his truck on the trailor. MOZE PWNED him. DBRODS would have PWNED him, and DRIVEN his truck 3+ hours back to Austin.

I LOST to shiner. Shiner was a cool guy know doubt. He joined in with me to wanting to bitch at the staff for letting those stupid DallasDSM guys go ahead of me.

I just think this is ridiculous to get into this kind of pissing match. Its so frustrating to watch.

FORD had the fastest truck
CHEVY won the majority of the races.

Lets deal with it

[duckysbht]

Pretty easy to sound like a tough guy when no one is around you isn't it THOGG. Don't act tough. You won. Be humble and take your humble pie and move on.

[BC Lightning]

Zeus's truck was there. . . . just not racing :nono: (I hazed him about not racing too)

T Hogg's truck does get driven on the street, in fact most of his races aren't at the track

I was disappointed in the times the L's were running, the R/T were bad, Here is a tip for next time, when you see the third yellow light you punch it then, these are heavy trucks, you wont red light, and if you wait till you see the green light you've waited too long, I even saw one L do his burnout in the water box, so when he pulled forward his slicks were still covered in water, I'm glad he didn't wreck

I was talking to a few L owners that have been around this forum for 6 or 7 years, and we agreed the times seemed really slow from years past, don't know why that is, but when we used to have group track days the majority of L's were running mid to low 12's, and others in the mid to high 11's, granted they were modded and not stock

I know the weather wasn't ideal for racing, but I have witnessed a bone stock L running a 13.1 in the 1/4 (granted it was cold outside, it was Sayle's truckm, he posted as Band)

I was impressed with the Silverado's times :tu:

My take on trailering a car/truck to the track is a stupid point to try and make. Those trucks aren't trailer queens. Me I'm lazy when I race. I don't want to crawl on the ground to put a jack under the truck to change out tires when I can put the truck on the lift at my house and change all four tires in 2 minutes, plus most run race gas, I hate trying to guess how much pump gas to fill up with and then pay for race gas at the track which is overpriced. Even though they might be street trucks, what if you do snap a rearend, blow your motor, that is one loooong tow back to where you came from

[PurpleMiniVan]

T Hogg, What's with the trash talk about me on the internet now... thought we squashed that lastnight? I atleast said what I said face to face... Yourself and the other Gen1 L had not run yet at that time, I was mearly looking for some compitition for some of the trucks we had in the 11's:icon_mrgreen:... Thank gawd you 2 were there;). For the record so you know, I don't have a truck, I have a TrailBlazer SS that is getting a new intake and a perfomance cam at this time:icon_mrgreen:... I hope to see you get your 9 sec pass soon, and nice trucks all around:beer:. If the next meet is in Dallas, don't worry, mine will be on a trailer too!

Zeus... I admire you're passion for you're L trucks and this site but take a chill pill... we really aren't that bad. Little friendly rivalry with some friendly jabs never killed anyone...:beer:

Ricer :rll: Never been called that before. I've been called alot of names but never a "Ricer" You might of took it the wrong way. I just wanted to race the fastest Chevy you guys brought. Heads up racing is what I like to do.

The only reason it turned into a pissing match for me was b/c of the trash talking from the Austin guy(He's cool) about how we didn't have a L faster than 11.5's and how bad you guys were beating us. So I was looking for a Chevy to beat me.

Now I'm upset (not tough) b/c of all this b/s trailer queen shit, "the only fast trucks we had came on a trailer", "I don't need race fuel to run 10's" and so on. I'm not tough and don't want to sound as if I'm tough, but my truck is and I do like to tell/show how tough she is.

It's all good I had a great time. We could do it all over again next weekend.:tu:

I had a great time..talked to a few of ya..I didnt get names...I talked to one of ya in the Tech line while we sat in limbo for an hour..he was a very cool guy...

Trash talking happens..I tend to stay away from it because some take it too personal when its all just play.

All in all i t was a good meet..yeah weather sucked and was a hard on times but hey that just means next time we meet up our chevy's will b e even faster than fridat night :)

In all honesty did you Lightning owners kind of under estimate us maybe just a little?

[Silver_2000]

In all honesty did you Lightning owners kind of under estimate us maybe just a little?

did we see any basically stock Silverado race Friday ?

I didnt have much luck racing my basically stock Chevy ... :evil

It's funny you say that b/c this comment is what got me cranked :flaming: up:

"We by far won the most. We had a couple members videoing virtually every race. Other than the 10.1 run by THogg and a handful of Lightning wins, Chevy's dominated. http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif Sorry"

Maybe I took it the wrong way.

[Shiner1]

We all drive trucks here....let's pick on cars. :d


HAHA!!! LMAO - agreed. Look fellas here's the deal, at least from my side. My truck is not a trailer queen. I'm not affraid to drive it and I'm not affraid to break it. Ask anyone in this club. I put my truck on a trailer for sheer ease. No changing tires at the track. And hey!! I got crap about that from my own club brothers!!! Like I said before 120 miles round trip and I'm not having "bubba" tow it home if it does break. If ya'll came from a farther distance, that's great. If it gets 15mpg that's great. A testament to your building skills. Mine is built solid enough and I drive the chit out of it and does NOT get 15mpg. If the fact that I brought it to the track on a trailer bothers some of you...Oh well...I could care less. I could also care less if a chevy shows up on a trailer. We'll line up, if you win...great. I'll shake your hand...Just like I shook Moze's (sp) hand after we raced. I would have liked to raced more. The last pass I made, the track (big end) was a little slippery for my taste and I felt it was time to call it a night. Beside I was tired of waiting in line. I look forward to the next shootout and I hope I get to line up against everyone...Win or lose:tu:

[DamnYankee]

Buddy - you and I talked at the track and everything was cool. And I would say to you at the track the same thing: You ran a 10.1 in a TRUCK. That's awesome. That's a fact and whether it came on a trailer or not is beside the point. We didn't have a truck that was CLOSE to yours. Do we have some? Sure, one or two that weren't there, so that's beside the point also. Your truck was BY FAR the fastest.

That's a fact.

The rest of the runs - even though we lost a few - the Chevy's dominated. Plain and simple. It's not an opinion. It's not trying to start a pissing contest.

If each side can't give credit where credit is due - THAT is what makes these kinds of meets not fun.


Example - Shiner was running mid-11's. I was running 12.0's. I raced him and "won". Reason being he couldn't get traction. If he could have - HE would have won. But I was running 12.0's (at 118m mph) because I was out of fuel - my pump can't keep up. Once I add a pump, I'll be mid- to low-11's. But what's the point of arguing "if....". It gets ridiculous.

I had fun. That's what I was there for. Props to all you guys and what you ran and props to a almost 9-second truck.

Too many people taking all of this personally...

:beer:

[Ohmsby]

I can only say that John's truck has been driven 500 miles to Lightning fest ran some mid 11 runs all weekend on motor then driven 500 miles back to Texas.

This is the same motor and tranny that is in the truck today

You still have me confused with someone else Thogg, The only crap talking that I remotely came close to with, was with Tiff60, was asking if the Ls were manual or automatics, cause he said alot of them needed driver mods. Thats it. You remember talking to me about running your new cobra then decided against it.. Remember.. Im not here to stir the pot, just some friendly races in the future...

[Silver_2000]

I raced a ricer in my Corvette - He left a half second before me and I still caught him and passed him by the end

Corvettes 1
Ricers 0

of course like many of the "races" that are being compared here my race wasnt intended to be close - the cars not closely matched at all ....

I guess the mistake the Ford guys made was lining up against a chevy that was that much faster than them

Lets do this again in the fall and Rocks and Thogg will be in every race
then we can say the fords won the majority of the races...

My panties weren't in a wad last night. :cool: I had been drinking since about noon or so, so when this got posted, well yeah, you do the math. Noon to after 9p.m......quite a few beers.

A little smack talk is good for any racing event. But taking things personally is a different story. In no way would any trash talk from a forum cause me to lose any sleep at night.

Like has been stated, props to the chebbys for having the majority of the fastest trucks there. I think a lot of the guys that showed up did underestimate the ability of a turbo on an LSx motor. You guys did have some fast trucks out there.

In the end you guys won the majority of races. The semi organized portion was 9 to 7 on video at the end of the night. So you guys won the majority fair and square. Thogg had the fastest ford there by a pretty wide margin. Regardless of what was sitting at home that didnt make it from either side, that is for another day of racing. I am sure the chebbys had some 9's and 10's that didn't come, and we all know the fords have several 9's and 10's that didn't show as well.

Like Mike said, my truck was there. I pulled in at the same time as the red Gen 1 on the trailer. :icon_mrgreen: No I didn't race because we JUST got the truck back together this past weekend after a few tiny upgrades and still don't have the tune on the truck straightened out. At WOT it is leaning out at the top of second gear. Reason either lies in the tune, which is just a starter tune at the moment, or the fact that my bigger fuel pumps are still sitting in the garage not yet installed on the truck. Stock pumps just dont seem to wanna keep up with anything normally over the 450 to 460 hp range on our trucks. When I hit about 5000 rpms in second gear the fuel system seems to be way past maxed out, and the truck starts detonating. It would have just been silly and stupid on my part to even put it down the track and hurt something for no reason.

With all that being said. I am in for the October Fall races, or whatever month we decide on. If Mike doesn't take the lead from our side, I am willing to step up and do it. If we need money fronted to get us a locked in date so everyone can start making plans, then I will help with that too.


Oh yeah and one more thing:::


My buddy had his silver C5 Z06 and ran 11.60 spinning, so there is at least 2 for the Vettes, and Jeff's Vette was running low 11's

My truck WILL be put back together before the Fall Shootout :evil

Do you promise??? :rll::rll::rll:

[ZeusSVT]

ZEUSSVT...your truck was NOT there. So stop talking like you did something. Because you didn't.

haha oh THOGG was the guy that came up to everyone acting like a ricer...

THOGG "Hey so whos your faster guy here"
Me "Well I cut a high 12 so obviously its not me. All of our trucks are lined up in the lanes, so pick you poison"
THOGG "Well um we wanna get this even"
Me "Well where is your truck dude"
THOGG "its back there somewhere'
(Sounds like a ricer to me)
THOGG"Well we wanna get this evenly matched bc the tech guys ****ed us all uP'
ME"Well obviously we don't have a 10 second truck here. The dude in front of me, and the dude behind me(dbrods) has run 11s. So if you wanna run them have at it"

THOGG is a straight up ricer. AFTER he ran.. 6-7 ls1truck.com guys are standing around his trailer where his trailored truck and he was being a really nice guy, he wasn't acting like a douche at all.

He was actually being a really nice guy, and holding an INTELLIGENT conversation with us. But now he sounds pretty tough. The chevy that lined up wasn't afraid to line up next to you. You ran a 10.1.. Ive never hit 10s in my life but I wouldnt be proud of that when I know trucks that are capable of running those times without being trailored 15 min from where they live...

Our guy got beat. WE KNEW BEFORE THE ENTIRE SHIN DIG THAT TALON WOULD HAVE THE FASTEST GUY OUT AT ENNIS. Your next fastest guy who was Shiner, put his truck on the trailor. MOZE PWNED him. DBRODS would have PWNED him, and DRIVEN his truck 3+ hours back to Austin.

I LOST to shiner. Shiner was a cool guy know doubt. He joined in with me to wanting to bitch at the staff for letting those stupid DallasDSM guys go ahead of me.

I just think this is ridiculous to get into this kind of pissing match. Its so frustrating to watch.

FORD had the fastest truck
CHEVY won the majority of the races.

Lets deal with it


T Hogg, What's with the trash talk about me on the internet now... thought we squashed that lastnight? I atleast said what I said face to face... Yourself and the other Gen1 L had not run yet at that time, I was mearly looking for some compitition for some of the trucks we had in the 11's:icon_mrgreen:... Thank gawd you 2 were there;). For the record so you know, I don't have a truck, I have a TrailBlazer SS that is getting a new intake and a perfomance cam at this time:icon_mrgreen:... I hope to see you get your 9 sec pass soon, and nice trucks all around:beer:. If the next meet is in Dallas, don't worry, mine will be on a trailer too!

Zeus... I admire you're passion for you're L trucks and this site but take a chill pill... we really aren't that bad. Little friendly rivalry with some friendly jabs never killed anyone...:beer:

Duecesknana


One thing for you guys to think about. You are spending your time over on the ford site like you have something to justify. I am here, on ours, only defending our guys. I can't really talk any trash because I didn't race. I'm not over there attacking any of you on the chebby site trying to justify anything from our side.

Just something to think about. :tu:

Oh and duck.....you're back to acting like an ass again with those above comments towards Thogg, just like a month or so back when you and roids boy were on your little tear over here on OUR FORD site.

[kirkmears]

if it wasn't for this animosity, we wouldn't have gone out there and had a good time.

we're not going to get some kind of avian flu now are we? :evil

[ONROIDS]

i love how im still mentioned in post's:banana: cant wait til the fall meet, and Thogg ive met you before man, at a dyno day last year in saginaw, bad ass truck bro, if i remeber right you took high dyno that day. anyways hope to meet you guys this go around hopefully ill be runnin low 11s by then, mine will prolly be on a trailer, mainly because the cops feel it neccesary that they need my DL more than i do:D i do wanna race shiner we should be dead nuts man could make for a photo finish, get that traction figured out bud.

[ChevyLee]

It was a great turnout and seems most had a good time

The original post that started this was that a basically stock silverado beat a lightning

did we see any basically stock Silverado race Friday ?

I didnt have much luck racing my basically stock Chevy ... :evil
Should have raced me lol. I have a 98 rcsb with a fully stock 6.0 an stock trans. just a tune, short tube headers and magnaflow exhaust.

[WA 2 FST]

Be honest... is that stock weight truck? I realize it has a stock 6.0 engine/trans (they weren't putting those in '98s, though, so I assume you have swapped in that motor/drivetrain), with minor mods, but seems like the truck would need less weight to run a 13.9 @ 100. Is that an LS2?

Props to you and your truck.

Not sure about hitting the hazards, though. Maybe if it ran a 10.9. :cool:

The truck is stock weight, It should be around 4300lbs. He has the LQ9 motor that came in the Yukons and Escalades, 20HP more than the LQ4 which came in the 3/4ton trucks.

Ok, gotcha... same motor that's in my '08 Yukon Denali... 400hp + with your mods (although minimal), you're pushing 430+ easily. That's very cool, and doesn't surprise me at all that it is running consistent 13.8-13.9s at 4300lbs.

I bet that thing surprises a lot of people, including new GM truck owners who's trucks are substantially heavier.

Hey Wes, you didnt happen to take the Vette to the track friday night did you? If so what did you run?!

Not 100% sure but I think the 08s came with 6.2L, this guys is just the 6.0L out of a 03 caddy i think. Good motors to mod either way. thats what I have in my truck is the LS2 version of the 6.0L

[WA 2 FST]

Hey Wes, you didnt happen to take the Vette to the track friday night did you? If so what did you run?!

No, I didn't get down there... was planning on a full weekend of coaching baseball, knew I had to get up at 5:45am... and then it all got rained out.

I've had the Vette to the track a couple of times with the twin-turbo setup... best is 11.2 @ 138 :eek:, obviously not getting a lot of traction.

No, you're exactly right... ours has the 6.2.

No wonder some of the Chevy trucks were so fast. You guys did what the manufacturer should have done... drop a real motor in there. The LS/LQ-based motors are awesome. Easy to modify, durable, and make great power... stock.

I have one... it's just in a C5 Vette. :)

[0'Lightning]

Man I bet, did you up the boost when you took it to the track?

[WA 2 FST]

Man I bet, did you up the boost when you took it to the track?

Nope... that's 11-12psi just as it is run on the street... 93 octane gas... 605rwhp. It was a cool day, so likely the _net_ rwhp was higher that day.

Thanks for the props, Cutter. The thing I really like about it is that it looks, drives, sounds just like a stock Vette til you nail the gas. The cam is tiny, the turbos don't make any noise just cruising, and the exhaust is stock. It could idle next to a bone stock C5 Z06, and there would be no noticeable difference.

With the tiny T28 turbos, probably ~650rwhp on the 346ci motor. This would probably be 14-15psi. I would need to replace the cat-back with something freer flowing and remove the cats.

Not the L driver's fault. Looked like he was ahead at the 1/8th or at least for the first 300'. Just got run around at the end by a faster/quicker truck.

Thanks, it was a good race. My truck does have some top end to it, I cant wait to see what it will do with some motor mods.

That was my first time at that track, I really liked it except for the stands, they hurt my butt. So in a since I did get butt hurt :crying:

12.02 isn't shabby at all. Doesn't take much to make them really quick/fast. Has he had it dyno'd? I don't know if I'll ever get mine down to the track, but at 575+rwhp, I'd be surprised if I couldn't get at least a mid-11 out of it, even with the 4100lb convertible.

[Beaudee]

Yes he has had it dyno tuned.He was on race gas slicks and pullied stock S.C..Hes about 600 H.P. @ the rear wheels with the latest dyno tune and the 12.02 1/4 time.I didnt know you got a GT 500 Wes.Im envious:tu:Love the looks.One thing my bud hasnt done is exhaust.I keep tellin him LT's.Tuner also said he couldnt get any more H.P. without movin some more air.Congrats on the Shelby:tu:

He wasn't making 600rwhp when he ran the 12.02. I'm not saying it wasn't the same tune as the 600rw pull, but the night he ran it must've been hot/sticky or something, b/c 600rw even at 4000lbs should run faster than 12.0. What was his trap speed?

Sure the 'verts are a little heavier. Still, my butt-meter says mid-11s on drag radials at 122-124mph. Or, if it doesn't hook... it may be low-12s... but the trap speed won't lie as to its potential.

I honestly don't see how he is at 600rwhp with just a pulley and tune. Maybe 510-520. They make 430-440rwhp stock.

The other night the last pass Rob made in my car was against a Shelby with a KB with all the bolt ons and drag radials. He ran a 12.07 @ 122 with a 1.90 60ft. We were both suprised he didnt run better. I dont know who did the work on his car but we thought it would run in the high 120's.

He had all the bolt ons/race gas that night with me( the defeat look on his face was priceless) ,but did not have the dyno tune which i think (dynoed @ 596 RWHP race gas)and then his best run was 12.02.He also destroyed the trnasmission from several runs @ Ennis with only 12K miles on the car:eek:I dont know whats with those cars but they dont perform that well @ the track unless heavilly modded.He has some intake modds also.

One for Wes. If i only had the money:icon_mrgreen: http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1124386212.html I think i could get 11's with this one Wow!!

[WA 2 FST]

Mine has the TVS blower with doesn't have the max potential of the KB, but depending on the tune/boost level can certainly make the same power. I didn't feel the need to go with more power than where I'm at. If a 430rwhp GT500 runs 13.0 @ 114-115, then I do not see how a 600rwhp GT500 doesn't run 11.5 @ 128+.

Yeah, that guy should be disappointed in his car. Maybe it was heat soak (which happens to the L's, too). Who knows? 122mph shows he needs a little more seat time, and he'll be in the mid-11s on drag radials, but still... I'm with you. I'd think it would be faster (assuming with a KB he's in the 650+rwhp range).

If Beau's friend has a stock blower, it isn't making 600rwhp. Maybe on the dyno, but not in the real world where heat soak will kill it. The stock Eaton on the Cobra is just as limited as the one in the L's. Get the inlet temps up, and power production/reliabillity go way, way down... no matter what the dyno says.

Thanks for the info, Jeff.

I know mine has the power to run mid-11s. Whether I could conceivably drive it there or not, is another story altogether. :cool: But from a roll it pulls like an 11-second car for sure. I've owned/driven too many to think otherwise. But alas, I haven't had the car to the track, so I'm not making an absolute claim. :icon_biggrin:

No KB. I went with all FRPP stuff. I have the FRPP suspension kit (which is an absolute must on these cars), FRPP shifter (nice upgrade), FRPP supercharger (made by TVS... good to 650+rwhp), a Magnaflow cat-back, and a custom tune. It put out 578rwhp on 93 octane and only 12-13psi.

The only other mod is the wheels... Fikse Profil 10s with 305/40-18 Nitto DRs in the rear.

Mine is not a KR. They don't make any KR 'verts.

Knowing the crappy air you guys had, he was probably making ~500rwhp "net" that night. :(

A Ram 900 clutch with an aluminum flywheel... that is not the ticket for a drag car.

Otherwise, that car is set up really nice! 670rwhp will run low-11s, high-10s and 830rwhp @ 22psi... Hang ON! :bows

Yeah, if he was idling it in the staging lanes, that sucker was heat-soaked bad.

I'm sure its a fast car, all I'm saying is that 12.9 (not sure what the trap speed was) run was not made with 540+rwhp. Doesn't mean the car doesn't make that normally, or that it didn't make that on the dyno. Just like the L's, these cars can drop 75+rwhp with heat-soak + poor air compared to a dyno pull where they use a correction factor. But he knows that... since you said it ran 13.0 stock, which was probably ~430rwhp.

The correction factor doesn't help you at the track. :)

Mine's not making 578rwhp when its 85-90^F outside, either.

I'm assuming since the rule for hardtops is 11.49 that for a 'vert it is 13.49. 'Verts require a cage at 2 seconds slower than a HT. I'll never put a cage in this car. Didn't buy it to drag race...heck, I don't have a drag car in my stable anymore since I don't do it regularly enough to warrant it. But its a blast to drive and it is plenty fast. Not as fast as my TT Z06, but fast enough for something with the top down, and I'm not going to break parts at this power level.

If I ever get it to Ennis/Crandall, I'll get one pass and be shown the door.

Hahaha... yeah one time I was down at HRP (Houston) running on a Friday night before a Fun Ford Weekend event. The tech guy back then was really strict. I had a roll cage, but he deemed the side bars too low (and maybe they were...barely). Anyway, that night he wouldn't allow me to run faster than 12.00. First pass... 11.35. Warning. I was pleading my case..."look and see, the car has a rollcage." He didn't care, of course, since it wasn't his job to care. Second pass, I let my friend drive it b/c the air was good, and he's a better driver than I am, and I was hoping he could set the car's ET record. He ran an 11.21. The tech guy nearly came unglued when he realized my buddy wasn't me, and thus hadn't tech'd in himself. "You and your buddy are OUTTA HERE!!!!"... was the exact response.

I do remember the first time I ever broke into the 11s (back then NHRA was 11.99 for hardtops) and the tech guy knew me b/c I raced at Ennis a lot in the early/mid-'90s. He comes to the window smiling... well Wes, I've got some good news and some bad news. I said, "I broke into the 11s." He says, "congratulations, you have one more pass today and then you get to install a roll cage." Pretty fun experience.

the other experience I never mind is breaking out in a bracket race. I absolutely hate bracket racing, so I always dial my car hard, knowing I have to run a good time to win, and most likely will never break out. I have yet to "hit the brakes" in a drag race. That is an oxymoron. Anyway, if I break out in a bracket race, that means I set a new PB, so I never cared ... even though it means I "lost" the race technically.

If only I could be fortunate enough to get kicked off at the next meet. :eek2: I'd gladly take my slip and ROLL OUT!!! :burnout::rll:

I can dream right?? :evil

[WA 2 FST]

He was @ the Shootout and ran 1 pass 12.9.I stand corrected,his car has 543 RWHP with tune and 2.6 upper pulley race gas.Gear Heads in Arlington tuned his car.

Ok, just so I get this straight... his car made 543rwhp and in that trim it has run a 12.02 as his best time? If so, this makes perfect sense, and is what I would expect. Do you know the trap speed on that pass?

[ChevyLee]

Id like to race you next time you go.Be a good race.My best is 13.2 @ Enniss with hot tune/street tires/4lb. lower/tune and some other small mods.I liked your race cause it was well matched.Heres one of me with my warm tune. http://www.svtgalleries.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/24223 :tu:
For the next meet I am sure we can line em up..


That was me and it was a good race:tu: May have been the most evenly matched race of the night. I did tree you slightly, but you came around me at the very end. Didn't see the flashers tho, you weren't that far ahead of me:twitch: I knew you crossed the finish line first, but I didn't know what your times were. They only gave me half of the time slip. Evidently they were having printer issues.:cool:

Our times really were close enough for the rt to be the deciding factor. Guess we both need to work on that :)

Hey, if you still have your time slip, post it up. I'll see if I can find mine.

BTW, where is the sound on that video?
I was thinking the same thing about the sound, and the time slip. I was like what the heck is this, mine was mostly blank, guess there ink or something ran out. Yea I was a little slow off the line, I need to focus on the lights and not wait for the other driver to go first lol..

BTW what mods do you have??

[Sandman]

Performance wise, I have a filter, minor shift kit, and I was running slicks. That's about it. For all practical purposes you were running a stock lightning.

I've cut better times when it was bone stock on radials, the weather Friday night sucked. The best I've ever pulled it was bone stock and ran a 13.55.

I can also trailor my truck 3.5 hrs to your house by Sunday morning if you have something for me. We can race from one block to the next. As long as you have the $$ I have the time.:evil I like to see once you put as much $$ as I have in your motor, how much you drive it. I don't like driving on and off the trailer.
Just so you know, my truck was built to run on the street. You live your life a 1/4 mile at a time, I live mine 3-4 street light poles at a time.:d

You ask what did I expect to find? I drove/trailor 15 mins to the track hopeing to find a Chevy that could atleast break into the 10's.:rolleyes: Maybe next time you'll bring a gun to a gun fight.:tu:

This is the same motor and tranny that is in the truck today

Yep...you were a major pain in the a$$ with your fricking 11 gallon fuel tank.....or was it 5? :D

OK....so WTF??????? I thought everyone had a good time. I just wasted 30 minutes of my life reading bullshit!!! Sorry I didn't show up. I would have used my trailer also, so I guess I would have been hearing crap too. I do drive mine on the street. It is just easier to get it in it's race clothing and drag it to the track. Then there is always the chance it might break down or I might crash it at the track. I can afford a trailer...I am smart enough to pull a trailer...I drive a Ford F250 so I have a vehicle that can actually pull a trailer...so what the hell? I should somehow believe the bullshit from guys who can't and drive to the track like their broke asses do???? No fricking thanks. Maybe some day if you work hard, you cheby guys can afford trailers and not have to slum it.:evil

I'm sure they will come up with some reason why you beat them. If it's not the slick it will b/c you have a power adder or something silly. It can't be b/c you have a fast truck. Oh no.

But it's fun blowing their doors off, like taking candy from a baby.:banana:

I doubt anybody will argue that a stock L will beat a stock Silverado. I don't think there was a stock Silverado there. But that's not what it's about. It's about what type of weapon you brought to the fight, stock or not.

Please help me understand how you guys still think you won "the meet".?

The way I see it is we had +40 L from stock 15.50's to "some what stock" ;) 10's. You guys had maybe 20 trucks if that, all of which where running low 14's or better. So if you run 20 of the fastest Chevys against all +40 L's. You should win. Now lets take those same 20 Chevys and line them up agaist our 20 fastest L's there that night. Who do you think would win? Now dig deep and be honest with yourself.

Well we didn't, we raced who was next to us because of the cluster **** of people and ricers that kept messing up the lines. The facts and videos show we won more races than the lightning owners won.
