I went down to our ****y track today and was expecting to run 14.1 my truck only has 600 miles on it and is stock down to the air filter. Well needless to say even with our crapy track, running 31psi in the tires I ran only once and pulled of 14.17 with a .58 reaction, 2.11 60ft, and a trap speed of 97.5 mph. I was overall very pleased with the trucks performance for the conditions, I didn't even let it cool down after 45 minutes of idleing in staging lines. Let me know if these numbers sound good for such a new truck.

 

Really great. What I want to know is how in the he** did you pull off a .58 reaction time on your first run after sitting 45 minutes. Luck or what. Thats really good. Your truck will get better with miles. Put synthetic oil in it tomorrow. You have enough miles on it.

Yep. Seems right in the ballpark. Some are a bit faster, some are a bit slower. Most of the variance b/w trucks will have to do on track/air conditions at the time it was raced.

Plus, with only 600 miles on it...I can tell you it will loosen up and run stronger at ~2500-3000 miles or so.

97.5mph will definitely put you in the 13.9s with just better starting line prep by the track.

Good luck with your new truck!
