That's it! Im doing some runs tonight! I know 4X4's tend to be a little slower, but I have to be able to beat 6.67 in 0-60!

Let us know how it goes. It is always fun to see what numbers these trucks can put down.

Is it safe to try and launch in 4x4 hi? Never tried before, kinda nervous.

 

[Trupiano]

Reason being : I have some horrible 1 wheel peel right now, so Im trying to find a way to get a little more traction without feathering my launch.

Harder brake. and a little less pretorque on the tranny. I wouldn't lauch in 4x4. Too much at stake plus the 60 mph. is a no no on dry roads. **** any speed is a no no on dry roads.

Diesel boys do it all the time. Just do not turn or try to shift in or out of 4x4 under power. Make sure that all of your tires are inflated equally as well when you run 4x4. You can even torque brake to get the revs up a bit more by stalling the converter.

Good Luck Rocket, SRT-10 Hood is on my list of must have soon too!

I launch for all of my 0-60 runs in 4 hi and don't have problems. Just make sure you don't have to turn while going in 4 hi.

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

4Hi is safe long as your front shafts for the wheels are flat or close to flat. If they are at an angle you will get play.

Can always pick up a wider tire and a set of caltracs.

Yeah that's in work. Lowering kit, rear sway bar, air bags, caltracs, and poly front sway bar bushings. I know my truetrac will help with that as well.

Thanks for the tips guys!

well after getting all the 87 out i put in some 93 and the performance tune got a 9.71 not bad for 8k plus truck .

went from a 10.11 in 87 tune to performance and got a 9.71

Edit .. old truck with the Hemi

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

That is a nice gain just from changing the tune.

**** yeah! That's a pretty good gain for the ginormous beast! What's next?

 

[ramhunter9]

next is hunting season i will not give a poop about the truck ...lol

So Trup are ya gonna try it (4Hi launch)? I got my original rims and tires back today from Wheel-spin39 and am gonna redo my Tune (set Tire Ht) and use some of the holdem-launchem tips in 4wd to see if the TC gives any better time than my best as I need to know that before I change the Cam and Gears. With those I'm not wasting 383 bucks ea in tires.

BTW: I made a comment Trup.. that you should buy KGBigCountry's Cam...Check out his thread..I think that would be your ticket...but its your truck and your buck my freind.
You US Military Guys get big bonuses, and housing incentives right, or is it Just the Navy?? Cause I seen some nice rides when I was at Eglin for 3 months.

 

[Trupiano]

Yeah I tried the 4hi launch, launched great, 0-60 was worse, but my 1/4 mile time was better. Don't remember the exact numbers, but I don't know if I wanna duplicate it, cause I ran my 4hi to about 96 mph. Lol

Ive got plans for this piece of my reenlistment bonus in november. Mcgaughy's 2/4.5 drop, caltracs, rear hellwig sway bar, front poly sway bar bushings, and air ride bags for the rear leafs. After that, Im saving for 4.56 gears for the front and rear, and Ill install my Truetrac, when I do that. After that, wideband, boost guage, fuel guage, then maybe a cam. If no cam, then It'll get supercharged. I'm really getting itchy, hearing about all you guys and these cam gains though. I would definately have to look into what I want the truck to do, and which cam would best suit the performance parts I'll have. But I have my list, so I'll eventually get to it... just not yet. Thanks for the tip though!

 

[03MopaRamman]

Ack. Well it sounds like you got a solid plan there Trup!

 

[ramhunter9]

my 4 hi was 9.91 ... gripped better but was slower

 

[Trupiano]

Yeah, Im kinda scared to try it again. Ill prolly just stick to 2wd, untill I change my gears and all that, so I know if Im grenading my rear/front end or not lol
