did my new best time: 14.25secs @ 94.39mph!! :woot
This is only after the intake, zoodad, and exhaust AND I went up to one size bigger and heavier tires!
I didn't get a chance to catch up with Eric for my new race tune, so I ran the same one I had in August. The track air temp was a lot cooler though, 68 compared to 87 back in August during the daytime.
Also got a chance to hang with Dave (Lord Tauk) and saw the Auto Enginuity that he has on his laptop.
Way to go Eric! I seriously thought about going up there last night since the meeting I had scheduled got canceled at the last minute, but I have been getting behind here at home. I knew I was going to miss a good night.
Soon I will have a reason to run my truck up there. The next time you guys get out there, I will be there for sure!
Good job Eric! and yeah- about the video... you got an iPhone, it does everything short of cooking a 5 course meal. so you have no excuses! haha nice run, and I can't wait for the Southern Smoke Show dyno either! you'll see my 1/4 times in tuesday night after I head out!
I was happy with it! Can't wait till I get my new tune!!
Dave, what happened to not smokin' someone without a reason? :lol: J/K, I was actually expecting it as soon as we rolled out.
As for the vid...iPhone doesn't do vid! Can you believe that!! Besides, Cecil ain't the best for video at night. I'll get a new one done up next time I head down during the day.
Jamstoys, I do have vid of my earlier pass at Cecil doing 14.3 run at Cecil on Diesel Movies.com.....NEVERMIND...when you try to navigate in Dieselmovies.com it keeps coming up with something that says "Hacked by Ferious"...what the &%^ ??
Oh boy! What am I going to do to catch Eric - that'll be my goal. Only problem is... as soon as he starts shootin' some drugs I'll NEVER be able to catch him w/o openin up the motor
I'd love to run a 14 flat. But that would require 420+ hp... I'll probably be finished at about 14.2... which ain't too shabby since that'll keep up with the chipped 6.0's, cummins, and most duramax's...
Sorry Marty..I am aiming for high 13s hopefully before the track closes for the winter:bolt:...just waiting on Eric when he can get time to send me a retweaked tune.
I want to see how far I can get without spraying drugs.
I forgot to mention or did I tell you? While I was talking to the gas guy he said they might be planning on closing earlier this year. They repave every year Im pretty sure, he said that.. and he also said they're going to tear down the old seating stands and build a bigger one.
Currently they are planned to close mid Nov, and as I said earlier that confirms it to their websites schedule.
How much extra weight can you loose next time that wont be a hassle to put it all back on?
Hey...that's my ugly mug in the bottom corner of that video!!! LOL
I don't thing the dual nitrous bottles are going to happen. The 20# bottle needs a new valve...and that's a lot of $$$. (Speaking of, I still have to go get it from the shop.)
I would like to get back to the track sometime though. Would LOVE to try and beat my 16.149 best. I know there is a 16 flat or better under the hood.
I'm off the 13th of OCT...maybe we can hook up for then. (It's a Sat.)
Ohh....Nearly forgot....GOOD JOB ERIC!!! Time to take out some weight and gain a few tenths!!!!
Yeah, 13th is probably good for me...MIGHT have to work for the in-laws unless I can get off, even so I could be there by 12 or 1 if I have to work..early if I don't have to!:thumb:
Ditty, with that new tranny I can see 16 flat or better!
Martin, I see all! :lol:
Anyone know if it is an Open Test n Tune on the 13th?
I just looked at the schedule..they are having Buicks there on the 13th. The next open Saturday Test n Tune isn't until the 27th of October. They have the Test n Tunes on Wednesday nights and Street night on Fridays.
Ok, waiting on Martin's transmission, cool gotcha....Ditty needs notice...no problem...
You guys want to tentatively aim for the Oct 27th Sat Test n Tune? Maybe just a hang out and chill type thing. Maybe all go out for food after done racing?
If you guys like this idea...i'll post it up in a new thead.
Now, I know I don't have the patience to wait a month to try my new race tune. So, i might head down one friday night either this week or next. I'll let ya'all know.
27th is a no-go...unless it's later in the evening. I work till 1800...but I'm off the next day.
I could be there around 2000 if I leave directly from work. What kinda time frame are we talking about? Making it an all day thing, go get food and then drinks??? That would be sweet!
