...one day... the KB will be a reality on the gas hog of the household It's a good thing the wife loves the truck as much as I do ...new mods are no problem!

Nice run! Look forward to seeing all the new times with this s/c. Should be an interesting season coming up!!

I just looked at your website and that is one of the coolest intros I have ever seen.
Great job
Chris

 

Great job Charlie! Was nice to hang out with you guys again today, and glad your truck is hauling (pun intended) like it is .

 

Stormyday,
Thanks.

 

Good job charlie. Not only does your truck haul azz. But it looks sooooooo good doing it. Congradulations you deserve it.

 

Are you running the stock bottem end or a built one? What converter are you using? Who's tranny are you using? What tire are you running? And last but not least, what size pully's are you using? The reason I ask all these questions is because I should be recieving my Kenne Bell in the next week or so. I would appreciate it if you could answer some of my ?'s. thanks

 

even though i'm not even close to affording those toys for my L, i'm curious as well! same q's as smkjoe

 

I just ask Charlie about his tire/gear combo on his last best ET post and he said it is 3.73/ 28" combo. Also according to the KB web site a 2.75 top pulley and a 9.0 ( 6lb ?) crank pulley will get you 20.5lbs of boost. Cant answer about the rest.

smknjoe,

I can probably answer all your questions because Charlie and I have the same exact modification, except I don't have a rollbar yet.

We are both running a JLP built shortblocks. All of the internal engine parts are on the JLP website. PI 2600 stall convertors, stock tranny with a shift kit, Hoosier 28" slicks, 6lb lower and 2.75 upper for 20psi...I had 6lb lower and 3.25 upper for around 17psi, hence my additional .4 in the 1/4 mile.

Yeah, I bet your happy John!. So, hows business these days? Great, I would hope. Sure cant go wrong with customers laying down numbers like those!!

Jason

 

Way to go guys! So Charlie does this mean you'll be pestering Sue at more races next year?

 

WOW!! What a great run! The KBs just keep pulling, no laying over on top end. Your truck is FAST !!! Skip

 

Thanks for answering my ?'s I can now have a little bit of a better perspective on where Im going to be.

 

Charlie,

It is all comming together for you now.
I have enjoyed our talks.
I even brought the mini bike for a rematch.
Once you get it all dialed in you definitly be in the mid 10's.

Congrads!!!

You are one of the coolest Lightning owners out there.
