Yeah no kidding, I was told that they put traction compound down on friday nights, but I've been there on a friday and never saw them prepping anything. Aside from that, I just need to find a better setup for traction, I must have been running the wrong tire pressures or something, but I know I need traction bars now. It's pretty sad that my best 60' is a 2.38 and I run 15.8's, I should be a lot quicker with a decent 60' , don't you think? Any tips for running street tires? By the way all my runs to date have been with a gov-lock 3.08 equipped rearend, I hope the eaton 3.42's will help out as well.

[Rhansen]

I'm using 275/60-15 (28x10) Yokohama Avid ST's with a locking diff etc. and if the track isn't prepped my 60' will fall off to around 2.15. Just burn them enough to clean the tread and don't worry about tire pressure - the best 60' I ever got on street tires was with 35 psi in the tires. If you can get your 60' down to 2.18 then you should run around 15.60. BTW I am very satisfied with my SSM lift bars, but I can't say how much difference they made because I did too many things to my truck at one time.

Thanks, I think I ran my tires at 25psi a couple times and usually did not burnout at all, this time I will just leave the tires alone to start and then go from there. I will probably only be getting a cheap set of lakewoods since I don't frequent the track more than 3-4 times a year to race, but they should help out some. I'm in the same boat, if my times get better I won't be able to tell for sure what attributed to it, but any increase is good.

[jmwxtreme43]

i lowered my tire pressure and i gained a 10th

[WAREAGLE]

I can run a 1/4 in about 1/4 an hour. my truck sucks

[x01]

Some of us don't have a 1/4 mile track. So what about a 1/8 mile list?

[97s-dime4.3]

1/8th mile = 8.5@84mph

edit: this is 97se-r posting at my friends house. those are the 1/8th mile times for the 200sx

[Rhansen]

?Maybe we should set up a time slip database?

[jmwxtreme43]

sounds like a very good idea, some people may not have scanners though, but i guess a digi pic is just as good

[Rhansen]

Can always go on the honor system but have to watch for BS. I throw away all my timeslips after I record them in my logbook. Of course I can always get more timeslips.

So I ask for you to post your 2.2, 4.3, V8, any s-truck non lie, non myth times, feel free to link to slips or videos, but dont waste our time by posting what your camaro or whatever else you have runs, or posting your mind altered, or altitude corrected time.

When I had my CPI 4x4 with K&N (2dr blazer), and Flowmaster I ran a best of 16.955@79
No Times with the LT1 yet.

11.70 @ 117mph with 60' 1.60, I have a 91 Sonoma S-15 Xtended cab, have a 383 with a Vortech S-Trim blower , had two runs @ this time last Sept.,03 in Atco ,NJ, I had some lean condition on the mid to top range but I did not push it hard, being worked on now for a new fuel mgmt. system and I 'll keep you guys posted.

[97LOWNOMA]

can someone update my time on the sheet i just ran the time listed in my signature

Yeah, burned pistons suck.

Reaction time has no bearing on your ET. The timer doesn't start until you cross the line. R/T is the time from when the light turns green until you cross the start line, it only matters when racing (you still have to cross the finish first, regardless of ET, to win, unless there is a red light or breakout.)

14.9!? Wtf? You barely have anything done, come on tell us your other mods or lets actually see a proof video, tell me, what your stradegy is, what tire pressure your launching at. Is your local track nice, ours is notorious for no traction, did you do a burnout before each run, i personally find a 14.9 hard to believe with such minor modification outta these trucks. If HPP3, headers, Y-Pipe and EGR will give me .8 of a second off of my 15.7 i will be impressed.

20 psi in the rear 45 in the fronts. track has crappy traction but i can get a good launch with a automatic. no waterbox, 2 dry hops just to clean the crap off my tires and heat em up a little. launch at 800-1000 rpms and easy into the throttle. if you dont believe me, jlaudio will be online later to back up my time. and i would be more than happy to get a video if your willing to send me a video camera in the mail to borrow for a couple days. i have no need to write false times that people like you will call bs on. the only reason i put my mods in my signature and make posts about how i got my truck to run faster is to help other people get there vechicles faster. if you had a good set of tires to go along with that 5 speed of yours (i think you said before that u had a 5 speed) you could easily get low 15's with your mods. i can't wait to get mach programming, 1.6 roller rockers, and some et streets, then you'll really be calling bs on my low 14 second pass. like i said i only make these posts so other people with s10's know what works and what doesnt work with modifying the 4.3.

[Navecm]

yeah a 14 second pass in a mildly modded s-truck does sound far-fetched (also sounds like you got pretty good traction), but if you say you did, then you did.

[jmwxtreme43]

20 psi seems really really low, good traction but might hurt the mph? You must have an awesome track cause here in New England NO ONE can get traction. I will try launching in the 800-1000rpm. I cant shift as fast i can w/out getting massive gear rubber, ( i know that must be hurting my time ) my additions to this time at the track will be, better stradegy, tire pressure, trying not to bake the gears, HPP3, Y-pipe, JBA headers and EGR mod. I dont know, im hoping for something good but have a feeling i will be dissapointed

[97S10SS]

20 psi is nothing, I go 15 psi in my drag radials and I did with my street tires too. I believe his times, high high 14's is possible with a reg cab and a few mods. Hes probably running at a good track like mine thats near sea level. Also a few of my runs were made in temps lower than 50 degrees.

[JLAudio11]

Yes i witnessed 97Lownoma run 14.9's. He consistently gets 2.1 60's, today i mostly got 2.44 60's with some 16.2's last time i ran and got 16.2's i had 2.3 60's. Maybe our track isn't too bad, I'm constantly tryin to control wheelspin off the line and run 2.4 and 2.5 60's with a lot of wheel spin usually.

[sixspeeddemon]

Before I Got My 9-inch In, The Stock One -legger Rear End On Some 275/60-15 Bfg Radials I Got A Best Of A 1.90 60 Foot, But I Had To Burn The Piss Out Of Them In The Box, A New Set Only Lasted A Month, And Only Made 12 Passes. Just Changing To The 9-inch W/4.11 Gears And A Full Spool Dropped My 60 Down To The 1.70's, Which Converted To .6 Off The Big End And Actually Added 2-3 Mph.

I completely believe that time. I had essentially the same mods as him when I ran my 15.1@89, plus he's std cab, and had a better 60' than I had, I see no reason not to believe it.

[jmwxtreme43]

i believe it, just is a little shocking....hmm well i'll just see what i can get if it dont rain on friday.. 15 psi on street tires!? Man, i gotta drive home a little while so im not going any lower than like 20-25. Our track is only 90 feet above sea level. See what happens i guess

[v8blazer90]

first time out with high rpm fuel starvation and on 35 psi street tires.
60 ft. 2.195
1/8th e.t. 9.991
1/8th mph 70.42
we dont have a 1/4 mile track around here so all i have is 1/8th

My bad - wrong link, www.edstephens.net/1_8_mile.htm is the correct link but it is down right now. Maybe it will be up later.

[XtremelyLowRide]

anyone know where i could find some drag radials or other rims that i can use instead of my 18's? I think I could have ran better w/o the rims.

summitracing, jegs, ebay, wantads?

[Rhansen]

I just picked up a set of drag radials for $60 from a friend of mine that runs a reair shop/used car lot. Too good of a deal to pass up.

I'll trade my ZQ8 wheels/tires for your 18's

well to get back to you on that one, i made an excel chart today out of being pure rattlebrain bored that includes mods, just dont know where to put it.

Screenshot it and post as an image?

[Navecm]

mintsick, good idea, ill do that in a minute

[Ralphie]

*waits in anticipation*

[Navecm]

Here it is....

[Rhansen]

I think all the ones faster than me are BSing. They should be removed from the list.

[97SE-R]

you know, if you changed the "truck" column to "vehicle" You wouldnt have to make me on a separate list just an idea

[CBZED101]

17.9 @ 76 MPH.

1991 4.3L TBI 4 door, K&N Filter, Flowmaster 40 series.

and it built from left over parts

[-Tucker-]

hmmm, It's not Fool182... just f o o 1 8 2 (just correcting in case these get dropping into a DB later)

Edit: And my mods are: Ractive intake, MAF descreen, TBspacer, TB plate mod, MSD 6A, HPP3, 160° powerstat, Dynomax Super Turbo exhaust...
