OK, I missed something - I'm seeing time slips with 1.5's 60ft and 10.5's 1/4. Were the wrong time slips scanned in?

what mods

Johnny, what is the setup on the truck you are running this on??

Just asking because these 60's are pretty good and the 1/4 mile times are good, but nothing out of this world.

Maybe on a built block, otherwise stock truck they would be impressive. Other wise, 22lbs of boost on a built motor truck with traction bars, slicks, heads and all the goodies......seems about what guys witht he regular KB's are getting.

I just check the go fast list. His truck would rank number 14th.
Only two others are faster without NOS, Gary Soulages and vinman.

Right

Because lord knows everyone who owns a lightning posts all their information on the internet.......


You guys are talking a couple tenths difference.

Let's take a truck, put back to back dynos, and back to back quarter miles on it........and there is a true comparison.

Again, I'm not knocking this at all, but it's not that impressive to me. Sorry.

Oh, believe me. It was very impressive to see that blower in action.
Just like Johnny said, same conditions with a heavy truck, running head to head with Whipple and nitroused trucks. First time out. I can't wait to see the progression as I expect to see blower only #s challenging the 9s.
