Maybe he did later on. I only saw one run and it was a mid-12 @ 109-111mph or something like that. He could have turned the boost up and gotten in the 11s for sure.

Dennis, Do you still have the slip from our race? (first race of the day) I lost mine and it was my PB. I want to post it up and I'd like to be able to back up the time with the slip.

Was this one of those late model's your talking about?

Allright.....who left the door open??????


Rocks:cool:

So Terminator.....what all have you done to her. She was running pretty darned strong out there.



Rocks:beer:

i knew i saw a 11.8 run.... congrats!!! other than turbo.. what else?

I was actually only running 1/8 .. that's why it was only 13's. I had a driveshaft come out from under me last time out and I still have a little vibration going on once I get up to 100.

On TT's 11 second run, I heard him spinning all the way passed the 60' mark. I bet ya'll would find that one hard to believe though. :d

Nathan,

I blew up a driveshaft in an old Mustang I used to race. Have you had your new driveshaft balanced? Be careful, man. May also want to check the output shaft on the transmission.

I don't find it hard to believe TT's truck would be spinning past 60'. He'll whip my L's butt. I'll have to bring out the sleeper to race him. ;)

But really an 11.8 running 114mph through the traps is an excellent ET for the trap speed.

Terminator/Greg,

You the same guy with the new black Silverado SS with the S/C I met a while back at the C-Store off of Spring-Creek/Preston in Plano?

I was the one in the Red '02 L. if that's you.

I've actually thought about that! It started when I put a new trans in, but I also had the driveshaft redone with a new yoke on the front and balanced. I also went with new gears in the rear end. In other words the entire driveline was changed up. After that shaft came out, I put a new one in that was balanced and all nicely. It still had the same vibration in it. I took it to a trans friend of mne and one of his hands found about a half inch of slack in the rear. He tightened up the nut on the pinion gear, but it wouldn't turn after that so we loosened it back up a hair. I need to get it back over and have the gears reset. I'm hopig its as siple as that.

Although ... the trans came from a wrecking yard. I don't have a clue about what happened to the truck. For all I know it could have been a bad rear end or a T bone wreck that pt a lot of stress on the driveshaft.

Anyways .. I didn't get to see ya'll run much, bu I did see a few of them run. I gotta admit, there were some nice looking trucks out there. I would have been shooting for a few of ya'll had I not had to worr about my driveshaft. :burnout: Some of he trucks I saw were pretty damn ipressive too.

oh, just a little of this and a little of that.
;) actually i don't have a turbo but rather a soon to be replaced (hopefully if the bank account allows it) blowcharger. the POS throws the belt all the time when i lift. no NOS either. beyond that, the motor is far from stock not to mention the tranny. wait a minute! i can't let all the goods out!
