Took the beast to the track

And holy **** that's addicting. Was my first time to run the truck and had a blast. Still want to do better and now I have the itch to go faster.

Three runs. And race weight of 7200lbs and running gearheads srl (street race light) which is a very street tune.

Run 1 - 15.835 at 83.68 rt .807
Run 2 - 15.015 at 93.88 rt 1.197
Run 3 - 15.077 at 93.69 rt 1.119

Still have work to do as a driver on the reaction times and my launch. Need to do a better job of building boost at the line. But overall I'm very satisfied with the results for my time and street tune on stock truck. Plus got 18 mpg on the hwy there and back.

Videos of 2 runs but might take some time to get them from niel (slw-svt) who was running his lightning and another guy with us in an 04 psd with injectors bigger turbo etc ran a 14.01 on fuel and 12.20 with spray. Also a ccsb 4x4.

Haha yea I'm gonnado my front brakes and get another boost gauge other than my cts to help with that. Plus boots probably weren't the best driving shoes.

What was your best time last night

Yea the 03/early 04 (mines early 04) only has 10 vgt vanes so it spools a little slower than the 05-07 turbos that have 14. But makes it whistle like crazy
