As I have driven to work the last few days in Kalamazoo, MI, I have driven by the Martin drag way aka the fastest track in Michigan. Well today out of the blue my coworker wanted to go watch the Friday night drags. I said hell, why watch when you can run. He watched as I ran down the track 3 times. The track was quite nice from start to finish it was a well run event. My truck ran a lot slower than expected, but at least I wasn't the slowest out there. I have a good baseline for the coming mods this winter. As of right now these were my times:
60' 2.59
330 7.34
1/8 11.2@63.48
1/4 17.2 @82.11
I was consistent on all 3 runs. Almost identical runs I should prolly run brackets or something I was hoping for more like 16.2, but can't expect to much out of 4.8L with nothing but long tubes a very mild tune and a one tire fire+3.42s. I also could have cleaned out 200 lbs of crap in the back seat.
Next time I go to the track at least new tires and less crap. If I can swing it a better tune and cai. Shooting for 16.5.
