Ok, so i finally brought it to the track. It isnt fully tuned up. and I ran consistent 8.4's (2 were the exact same) 8.4 at 84.48 (with a 2.0 60ft.) and when i got up the ***** to launch it harder i ran 8.3 at 85 wiht a 1.9 60ft.. It STILL wasnt breaking loose so i must not have been launching it that hard. the best reaction time i got was a .5056...which i dont think is that bad. It sucks that the local track is only an 1/8th mile, but thats what wins the race for me...to compare an srt-10's best with intake was 8.6 but was running consistent 9.0's WITH AUTO. and my friends m3 with smg, launch control, 4.10 gears, intake, exhaust, chip only ran 8.8's.

my power mods- intake, catback + x pipe, 6lbs lower, stock upper pulley, diablo (detuned) 1 step colder plugs, 160 thermostat, c&l elbow and intake plenum, accufab throttle body, lfp traction bars, nitto 555r's...

i have the 8 new coils, lfp heat exchanger, stoptech stage 2 brakes, line locks, an a 50 shot sitting here (which im nervous about) do i retune and try to go for better times with better tires, or do i add a 50 shot?

i figure the truck would have been a 12.9 with how i was driving it. and if i got better 60 foots i would be maybe 12.7-12.8. which isnt bad for what it is (detuned diablo)

 

Good God MAN - if it's not running right, why risk racing it?

Replacement motors are NOT cheap and not far away for a badly tuned truck.

no its fine, its detuned so nothing happens. My coils are here so it'll be fixed soon. besides, i want a built motor.
