Post Your 1/4 Times Here!

[97LOWNOMA]

i'd say your on the money, around a 15.7.

[Ralphie]

Take your 1/8th mile time and multiply by 1.57 <--- that's what Hot Rod did in it's Match Bash races.

[nbm032003]

15.88 @ 83 w/2.20 60' Mods include pulleys,dynomax,tb blade,predator tuning,airaid intake, B&M shiftkit

[iqukgmc]

ok ran it agen last light and ran a 15.502 at 89.9 mph
same set up as above just this time with a vett servo
STOCK EXHAUST
up next is a cam with full exhaust

[Chevy Layin Low]

For your mods thats awesome! Nice time bro!

[Navecm]

an update, might be a little easier to read now too
and oh yeah i left you 1/8 mile runs guys off this thread is after all 1/4 mile times!

[Ralphie]

Ok not that it matters THAT much, but the TB and O2 Sim were pre- 1/4 mile times. Don't worry if it's a big deal just FYI. Great job though!

[Navecm]

i try to get it right the first time but not everyone says what they have so i just put what there sigs had, ill fix it next update like the others, still looking for more times
even 2.2s are welcome to post!

[jmwxtreme43]

Going to the track tonight, i hope for some improvements, hoping for a mid-low 15, i'll post my dissapointing results tonight when i get back

[jmwxtreme43]

well, 15.501@89.55mph, horrible 2.534, 60' mark. If only i could hook up i might see a 15 flat or so, oh well, i'll try better stratedgy next time...

[jmwxtreme43]

well, here is a video of two runs, one of the 15.501 and the awesome bake all the way through 1st and 2nd and still got a 15.8....if link dont work, its in my gallery

[Ralphie]

Good work man!

[Cr1028]

Damn, nice vids. You kept up with those stangs pretty well. One thing is for sure, you'd whoop me.

[jmwxtreme43]

Thanks man, i was not too happy about the 60 foot marks at all and not really too happy with the 1/4 time but i guess i should be since i improved almost 3mph since last year. My speed is there even with those huge bakes i still got 89mph, i would love to get like a 2.0-2.2 60' and not as much gear rubber and i should see an awesome time and probably 90 or 91mph. BTW that left lane sucked, it was slippery as you could see.

[XtremelyLowRide]

http://www.streetimagecc.com/media/p...ack/track1.AVIHeres my vid.....stayed pretty much right next to the mustang the whole way....And to update the list on my behalf I did a 15.87@87.07 and i have an automatic.

and for the videos sake if you here the lady say I changed lanes is because I did and yes my name is Brad.

[jmwxtreme43]

pretty good run man, not bad for an auto x-cab, you pretty much have the same mods as me aside from headers and pre-cat

[cotton383]

i ran a 9.22 in the 1/8th but spun the whole way

[jmwxtreme43]

right.......ok, truck info?

[Ralphie]

I'm tryin to decide if I wanna go to the track this afternoon or not, its cool out and the track is like 20 minutes away.... basically I'm deciding if I wanna be a cheap ass or not.

I say be a cheap as like me for now :confused: but it is only 20 minutes away and good weather so just go.

[Ralphie]

Well the bastards started bracket racing today, their website is alittle confusing about when the fun drags and bracket racing is- now the the fun drags are pretty much just Friday nights so I'll prolly hit it up this Friday, its like 12 bucks so it's not too bad.

[kuhndog56]

I ran a 16.521 @ 81.50 mph. My wheels spun at the beginning a little, and is this a good run with the mods i have and what could i do to get a 16 flat.

[Chevy Layin Low]

2003 s10 Xtreme
Performance
Auto with Jet Power Shift | Volant Intake | CFM TB Blade | MAF Screen Delete | No Muffler | Leaf Spring Clamps

Might want to look into a muff. . .you probably killed your low end torque. A lot of performance muffs are around 50 bucks.

[Ralphie]

MAF Screen delete

[Chevy Layin Low]

Well, MAF screen delete is a debatable mod to say the least.

TB mod and intake are a good start.

Muffler is a most. . .I can't stress that enough. I would get a decent performance muff and slightly larger pipes. Could get a custom Y pipe made as well. Plenty of stuff you can do man. Maybe a posi rear end? Make alittle more power and get it to the ground. Countless ways. . .

[spd]

jmwxtreme43 what kind of tires do you have? you should really put this traction thing into play and put off with all the other mods and focus on traction and weight transfer. Like you said if you could hook up those times will drop alot.

IF i was you, id move my battery to the bed. Deff some new tires, maybe go to a bigger size. Another idea to help the weight transfer is that light weight glass, not sure what its called but thats a idea. Maybe some drag shocks, or traction bars. Looked like you had a little bit of hop in one of the videos.

What rpm do you launch at? Do you ease into the throttle?

just some ideas.. nice time though.

[kuhndog56]

yeah, the muffler thing isnt my fault. My father took it to Tuffy to get the oil change and come home wiht no muffler! I never asked for it and now im stuck with it for awhile.

[Chevy Layin Low]

I would say thats the biggest problem. . .

[kuhndog56]

black03zq8, what do you run? also this was my first time racing, and i was pretty nervous. my reaction time was 1.177.

I have about 10 month old tires, "Mastercraft" i believe cooper makes them, i dont really know, i needed them asap when i got the truck, they are stock size, wiszh i had like 255's or so. I plan on doing one more mod, pullies. Then i will work into traction. I dont want to move the battery however. Cant really afford that glass probably either, im not a hard core racer or anything, i just like to see what its capable of. I am thinking of picking up some traction bars cause yes it gets horrible traction and "hydraulics" a little. I launched around 1000-1500. I eased it everytime yes, except that last run where i kinda launched too high, saw that it was spinning, said **** it and just kept on it and got a nasty 2nd, thanks alot

[MPETESS10]

ok well I went to the track this past friday night
I hadnt been there in 2 years previous best was a 16.3 (I still had a 5 spd and 3.08 posi and a functional cat I also still had a fleetside bed)
my truck is a 96 ex cab ZQ8 4.3 stepside
now my current mods are 143k miles(all custom miles)
modded air box K&N TB mod TB spacer EGR reducer gutted cat flowmaster 40 series with turndowns
also now has a BUILT 700R4 and a 3.42 open rear
245/50/16 BFG comp t/a's on ZQ8 rims at 25 psi

latest run was 15.6@ 88 mph
r/t was a .832
60 ft was 2.2
1/8 mile was 10.04

I backed that up with a traction limited 15.8 at 85 mph also with a 2.2 60 ft and a 10.1 1/8mile
it was also pinging badly in the upper RPM's on the second run (thanks hypertech)

my cousin (well call him pete'sXtreme) has an 02 xtreme ex cab V6 5 spd with a flowmaster, a modified airbox and K&N and he ran a 15.97@85 mph friday night as well he is very bad at the lights tho and cut a 1.04 light
he had never run at the dragstrip before and he ran his first run (a 17.44) by holding it at the redline and dumping the clutch
needless to say he spun all the way through 2nd
I gave him some advice on launching and he got a 16.09 and his 15.97 I already mentioned

[spd]

MPETESS10:

damn good times for whatcha got, dotn take that the wrong way.

I'm really wondering if its the tires you got taht are ****ing your 1/4 tiems up so bad jmwxtreme, well, doesnt really matter anyway you look at it you need some traction!

[MINTSICK]

Mpetess10 nice times, sounds like that built tranny, 3.42's, and the lighter stepside bed really helped out. Very impressive for 143k on the clock as well.

Haven't ran the truck yet. I'm about to tint the windows and drop the truck then its onto performance mods. This summer their will be a lot of racing going on. I can't wait.

[jmwxtreme43]

Yeah i need some type of good tire, i know its awful traction

[spd]

kinda worded that one a little off, i dont mean your 1/4 times are ****ed up but your 60foot times could be better = better 1/4 which your truck should run. sorry

[jmwxtreme43]

no problem i understood what you mean, and yeah im gonna work on my 60' times. I have a few things i will do, i lowerd my pressure to about 22psi, which actually did nothing infact somehow i spun more, i did fairly long burnouts. Next time around, im going to start off at normal psi, just spin them a few times to clean them, then im off to see what i can do and go from there

[Ralphie]

Doing long burnouts on radials is pointless, they're designed to dissapate (sp) heat, so to do anything more than clean the tires off is pretty much worthless and just wastes tread. Looks cool though!

[minitrucker83]

Here is my best time about a week after i bought the truck. I run at Gateway International Raceway in St Louis MO which i think is about 1300 ft above seal level but im not sure on that one. I plan on goin this friday so i will update my times afterwards which should be considerably faster.

97 chevy s-10 ext cab stepside, 5 speed, 3.08's, egr restrictor, tb mod, march pullies, hacked air box w/K&N filter, factory hop shock, 215/60/15's. I weighed in at 3540lbs w/o driver who weighs 200 or so.

R/T .568
60' 2.404
330' 6.766
1/8 10.403
MPH 67.96
1000' 13.511
1/4 16.158
MPH 84.51

[lilscreamer]

my best 14.91 N/A stock converter

Just got the new converter in . Should have the NOS kit in shortly.

[Navecm]

screamer, what type of 60' times are you putting down, thouse lakewoods and bfgs work well?

[blk99xtreme]

Hey lilscreamer, whats your set-up/motor mods? I'm dying to get mine into the 14's n/a. I've got the bgf drag radials and i get no spin when launching at the track, and very little on the street.

[blk99xtreme]

Oh yea.....15.37@89.5mph '99 4.3 auto reg cab

thanks for the compliments
well I am finding out that thw stepside really doesnt weigh as much less than a fleetside as I was once led to believe
I weighed my truck that night and it came in at a whopping 3780 lbs and and my truck was basically empty except for me and a 1/2 tank of gas I weigh 190 lbs
my cousin who has a 02 Xtreme ex cab fleetside V6 5 spd also weighed his truck and it came in at 3949 and my cousin weighs 246 lbs and he was also at about 1/2 tank of gas
and we weighed the trucks on the same scale

so that puts my truck at 3590 without me
and my cousin at 3703 without him
he aslo still had his speaker box in his truck which is pretty heavy and probably weighs about 65 lbs
so taking out the 65 lbs for the speaker box and the driver weight difference its only coming in at a 50 lb difference
I still think its more or a weight difference than that between beds but I am thinkin its not more than a 100 lbs now
ohh well

just for kicks I went to a hp calcuations site and put in my weight and my et and its sayin that to get that kind of weight through the 1/4 mile at that e.t. I am putting 197 hp to the rear wheels
I find that amazing and almost too good to be true
especially with an engine thats only supposed to be making 170 hp stock but hey
if thats what its doin that would be fockin awesome but I am very sceptical if that is actually true or not
my next goal is to get my truck into the 14's before I swap out the V6
looks like I might be doing headers after all
posi and Y-pipe will deffinately come first tho
I think the y-pipe should drop me a tenth or 2 by itself
my y-pipe is crushed beyond belief at this point

[XtremelyLowRide]

Time for updated list yet?

[Navecm]

mpetess10, the reason it sounds to good to be true, is because it is too good, take that weight of you, and minus the weight of the gas (i think gas is something like 6.3 lbs a gallon, i think), and chances are that scale isnt calibrated based off what other people have said their trucks weigh, that would put your truck at 3550 about, and others with similar trucks are coming in 100-200lbs lighter. just a thought.

by request of xtremelylow ride, and updated list..

[jmwxtreme43]

the list is coming along nicely, good work

[Cr1028]

Damn you guys can move.

[MINTSICK]

List looks nice, should we get the ranger guys on there as well, maybe in a separated category like 97se-r?
