Made the drive down for the NHRDA race in Phoenix this weekend. Decided to run the truck, see how'd she do. I'm currently running the Black Maxx version 6.4.9, ran the Hot Tune all three passes. Not sure how much the truck weighs, but I'd guess its around the weight of a crew cab short bed. I didn't remove anything for weight for the runs and I've got a pretty heavy in-bed gooseneck hitch and had 3/4 tank of fuel.
Believe those times put it right in line with the Spartan 275 tunes?? Very happy with the times and the truck. Transmission neer missed a beat, shifting great and the truck made it through the day with all it's coolant staying where it's supposed to. I've got a video of the second run, take me a day or two to get that uploaded though.
Good times! I think you found your sweet spot for boost numbers at launch. When did the TC lock up at? You get it to lock up in second and stay locked you will have a 12 sec truck on your hands!
Yea, that is comparable to the Spartan 275 tune. I have only seen a few people run 13.1 with it, but it has been done. Usually the 275 is in the 13.2-13.3 range. Those are great times man!
I believe he is running the new tune from another post he made. 6.4.9 is the newest where you can choose regular HOT or HOT DAMN. Sorry I was to late.:hehe:
Yes, those times were with the new Hot Damn tune. Very happy with the overall performance. Truck also averaged right at 16.6mpg round trip, running mostly 75-80mph.
It put out some pretty good smoke at the launch, but it clears right up once it reaches full boost. The Hot Damn tune smokes noticebly more than the standard Hot version.
Finally got the video from earlier this month. Sorry it cuts off at the end. This was my slowest pass of the day, launched it really soft at just 5-psi boost. 60-foot was pretty slow. Eitherway, the truck ran a 13.2 @ 102 that pass.
Nice times:thumb: Next time I go to the track I'm going to try airing my tires down to 30 lbs to try for a better 60ft. Our trucks will run 12.9s just have to master the 4wheel launch:thumb:
