Ok, so what did everyone run at TFC?

[WA 2 FST]

I've seen just one post... wesman and his 10-second @ 126mph pass; which BTW is sweet with only a 1.77 60'. Can you say... easy on driveline parts, and still run like a bat-out-of- ? That is WA 2 cool.

So what did some of you others run? Wish I could have gone (s/b in the low-12s now). I had a conflict since it got moved back a week (son's 12th b'day party).

[PUMP]

I did lousy. 13.15 (2.0 60-ft) and red lighted by .03 in the first round.:mad: Had some good lights during Test n Tune and then got over anctious. Had a great time though and got to meet several additional members. We missed you.

[Sixpipes]

Well, my motor let go just as I crossed the finish on my first run. Unfortunately, the timing system screwed up and I got no timed. But the truck was moving pretty good. Basically the same tune as LFest (12.29), but with a 6# pulley instead of a 4#er. A/F was 12.5 when it let go. No regrets...

Dennis,

Have you had your truck dyno'd recently? Just curious as to what the threshold was for your stock engine.

[BC Lightning]

I ran a 12.8 @ 113 mph with a 2.1xx 60', Wes was behind me and said I spun the 28" Hoosiers like they were street tires, I had to get out of it 2 times before I could get traction past the 330 mark

so new 30" tall tires are on their way along with some suspension stuff and a good dyno tune for my race program

[L-Fever]

Michael, I thought you rand an 11.88 against that ford diesel truck with the pipe rack mounted on the bed. I think he ran an 11.96. He was right on your tail! Maybe I was dreaming...

I'll have to go back and check the slip, I thought it was a 12.8, but could be mistaken

You were sure spinning those slicks almost to the 1/8 mile mark!

Did you not get a retune for the 6#'r since LFest?? 12.5 is dangerous with a lot of boost.

BTW- I have video and a pic or two of your truck being towed etc. I think Terry got the run on video as well as the towing....I'll check to be sure.

It was 12.8x to 12.9x....I think I have video of that one too :burnout:

lol..I got the .8x and the .9x part right at least.

Send me the videos

[Silver_2000]

I spun the crap out of the street tires and ran a whopping 13.4 with a 2.1 second 60 foot
I dont think I have EVER spun as bad as I did on that track ...
My 60s ranged from 2.1 to 4 seconds :evil

Hey Doug, you are not know for your delicate touch on the gas pedal! Be proud!! lol:D I think a 4 second 60 foot is very manly!

Dennis,

Have you had your truck dyno'd recently? Just curious as to what the threshold was for your stock engine.

Last dyno in September was 465 rwhp with the 4# pulley. I went to a 6# pulley with the same tune. The weather was pretty cool on Sunday so I would say I was probably close to 500 rwhp just about the time it let go. :cool:

Yeah, I was watching the A/F guage when the motor went. I was thinking to myself...I have a good run going so I am keeping my foot in it and when I get back to the pits, Terry can add a little more fuel and Holy Crap! :cool:

Maybe a little higher, very similar pulleys on the KB, ~520HP.
It really sucks you didn't get a time slip.:(

[L8 APEX]

I like to see 11.5 A/F or richer on stock blocks for racing. KB puts 11.1 in print on his manuals. You'll gain 20+hp leaning it a full point. I tune most built motor trucks 11.8-12.0 unless they are unusually hard on the truck, LOL!

Thanks for the info. I'm not especially hard on my truck (and almost never go a full 1/4 mile blast...although I enjoy going 50-100 every now and then), but I'm at about the same power level...and I'm saving for a built block.

Are you having Terry build you a new one?

I picked up Ron's used motor and it as Terry's shop right now. Plans are to get it freshened up and add some aftermarket heads. :cool:

[Ohmsby]

12.5 range with a 2+ 60' I trapped 112 on that same slip on the big end I had DR's and could not hook but the truck really ran well

[03LightningRocks]

I guess the secrets out now? :cool:

That cat has been out of the bag for a while now.:rolleyes:
