May Chat Thread

Just continue on from April with whatever's going on with you and your truck.

I have a few mods in the works but need to install them.Roll pan and some side-skirts that go behind the back tires.
New slicks are on,,just need to get to the track to try them out.Wow there big!!! Just ordered some smaller lighter tires and rims for the front to run at the track. Wheels- http://www.holeshotwheels.com/holepro2_front_700.htm

Woo Hoo!!!! Went to the track tonight and came back with a new best 1/4 mile time.
Only made one pass and when I saw my time I came on home happy as poop..lol
1.68= 60 foot time.11.76 1/4 @116 MPH After that I figured there was no sense in taking a chance on something going wrong so I left.

No I don't think so.
It was the extra HP from the 4 pounds of boost and long tube headers.
