Sorry for all of this jumbled up into 1 post, just figured it would be easier to copy & paste from another forum.
Well i have worked 7 days a week for 2 months & finally got off of it yesterday. 3 day weekends again...hell yes. Lol well me & the fiance are going to the track tonight & on the way to clean the truck i stopped at a scale.(this was from last night)
4320 w/ me in it, track trim w/ tail gate. I weigh 135 so that puts the truck at 4185 then drop the tailgate & thats around 4150. It had a 1/4 of a tank of gas. The tailgate is coming off but the passenger seat is going in b/c she wants to come w/ me so the weight will be the same tonight. She wants to come so maybe i can get her to get some good vids.I could easily get the truck to 4250 w/ me in it i think. Now i need to add more power so i will have the best of both worldsI weighed it a while back & it weighed 4620 w/ me in it in full street trim w/ a completely topped off tank of gas I think 4200 even would be really doable but i like my radio & interior & a/c way to much to toss it out. W/ the interior, a/c, radio & stock speakers, exhaust, play w/ the front bumper & play a lil more under the truck i definitely think 4150 would be no problem. 4000 w/ me in it would be pushing it but in a track only truck
On my 1st pass last night I spun my butt off & ran a 12.14 at 111. Second & last pass I ran a 12.15 at 111. I was hoping for 11's again but the truck needs a 3400 converter & hoosiers.
I decided to get a set of hoosiers from Bob last night. Lets see it try & spin now lol
Last year w/ 4.10's I was cutting consistant mid 1.6's on spray & mid 1.7's on motor w/ my 3000 tc. This year all I can muster is 1.69-1.79 so far even w/ everyones beloved 4.56's. My tc is over 4 years old, been in 2 blown trannies in 2 different trucks & has never been sent back to get cleaned. It just acts like it needs more stall these days. I know it is slipping pretty bad & thats why my times are suffering so far this year
I will be doing a 3400 tc. I guess I will just send mine in to edge to get redone into a 3400 b/c it will be a cold day in hell before I pay a grand for a circle d converter.
I guess i just expected to much from 4.56's from all the talk & hoopla people put them off to be but my results might be messed up due to my tc issue. So far though I liked the 4.10's so much better
I fixed 1 of my issues today. My old nitrous solinoid wasnt opening up all the way. It was opening a lil then stopping then opening a lil more so I stuck a brand new soliniod on it & it hits alot harder now so I'm going to try & go to the track wednesday & see where that gets me. The old 1 was sticking pretty bad. It was enough to where you could feel it & see it on the wideband. Ben noticed it didnt hit hard at all back in the summer w/ the 150 shot but I didnt pay any attention to it until last night. It was slowly getting worse.
It ran 11.91 @ 112 w/ the 150 shot last winter. This winter my goal is 11.9's on the 125 shot & 11.7's w/ the 150 shot
