Finally got the longbars and punisher vb installed so it was time to take it to the track.
Previous best with eaton was 8.25 @ 85 1.85 60ft. Specs, MMR 900 2.3 whipple 17-18 psi 550/640 16* 11.1-11.3 af comp stg 2 cams stock tb stock manifolds stock heads JLP race ice box JLP long bars punisher street vb stock converter Nitto 555R 305/45/18 (20 psi) Stock suspension.
First pass I did a ***** burn out, ice box full of ice.
2.1 60
8.3 @ 92.
Next pass, hot lapped, did a god smoky burnout, eased out, spun, hooked, spun.
1.88 60ft
7.71 @ 92.6.
Let the truck cool for about 45 mins, put about 1/4th a bag of ice in the tank, did a good, 10 sec burnout, stalled it to about 1200-1300, 3/4th slipped it out, kinda wheelhopped, spun, stayed in it, caught some traction about 30ft mark;
1.87 60ft
7.67 @ 92.57.
Ran two more times trying a different launch, ran bottom 8's both times just spinning like a whore.
I Was impressed with a full weight, system in the truck, how I drive it on the street setting a new personal best, not breaking anything and running mid 7's definitely think it has possibly 7.4x with the nittos and a better launch. However, not sure how much farther I could go past that with the nittos, not to mention, they look to be on borrowed time as it is tread wise.
I thought my et would be worse but mph faster.. was the opposite. Figured it should be somewhere in the 95 ish range.. anyway, spinning off the line isn't helping anything as well as spinning well into 2nd. Slicks would yield better times for sure, would like to also get it down et wise before I change out the shocks to QA1 adjustable.
