My 0-60 run today... thoughts?

[DavidRam]

The conditions:

77 degrees, 78% humidity, 200 ft elevation.

Road was a little rough, couple bumps here and there. Half a tank of gas. Stock goodyear tires and rims.

Only did this single run because it's hard to find a time and place in my overcrowded town. I was kinda nervous because it wasn't the best street for this...

I set off two car alarms, so I decided not to stick around for an audience, Lol!

Pretty sure I can improve on this: better road, air down my tires, shed some weight, cooler weather/less humid, and most importantly practice my launches.

What do ya'll think?

BTW, this is my second ever run. The first one I did was about 4 months ago.

That was 5.91 seconds, with 3.55 gears/open dif, and prior to lowering. Otherwise all the same mods. I got alot of one-wheel-peel on that one. Lol

Looks good to me David. My best one to date has been a 5.90. That's with 3.55's and not lowered. I haven't ran it again to see how or if being lowered will affect my times

 

[Caldwell]

think about the weight your moving from 0-60, then think about the aero factor.

to me that is a FANTASTIC 0-60 !

think about what you could do on the some lower profile tires also, with better grip ! ?

Thanks man! 5.9 is very good, too. I think being lowered might help a tad...

Thanks man! I think I can improve on that number as equiped.

But you are right, it would be fun to have some smaller, stickier tires to play around with.

That's fast!! This is the best one that I've done after I put my S&B in. Quicker than it was but nothing compared to yours! Haha

 

[HemiRoar]

david..dude, DAMN!!

just to put it in perspective, my 07 mustang GT with 4.10s and t-lock (lsd)/94 oct tune did 4.8 seconds as the best time..this isnt too far behind, and its a freakin pickup!

 

[MR.REMBERT]

Looks pretty good. Makes me wonder what mine is, I'll have to find out tomorrow!

Awesome run dR. the hardest thing for a go fast truck is getting off the line without spinning the rear wheels.

Thats an awesome time David! I thought that low 5s would be nearly impossible to do without a stall converter. Mine has that take off "bog" that seems to make that time impossible. Mine is usually at 5.9-6.0 with stickier tires. The tires/rims I have are also heavier and may be hurting me as well though? Very nice Brother!

Thanks! And your are right, I need to learn to control wheel spin, and I will get better launches.
On this run I did ok, a little spin off the line and a pretty big chirp into second...

Thanks bro! (Edit: oops sorry, forgot you had rcsb, too.)

The rim-weight issue is one of the reasons I kept my stock rims, they are lighter than any aftermarket I could find (not to mention, I kinda like them)

I don't have much of an issue with bogging at take off, my truck seems pretty responsive, not quite a jack rabbit, but not bad for a hunk of steel! Lol! Ofcourse, I do have a little surge of power in the higher rpms, but not as much as most guys talk about having...

Does anyone know what stock 0-60 times are for my truck??

David... I have bad news for you.... Here's mine:


Just kidding. I hit a dip and my wheels came off the ground a bit.

I'm jelly of your time. Great run!

 

[gunner1374]

Reg cab here too so no excuses for me hahaha. I think that I am going to go back to stock chrome clad 20s. My buddy has a set I bet he would be willing to trade for some chrome Boss 20s! Game on! lol

 

[BlackRamHemi]

Hate to be an ass....

RCSB in 4WD, so no tire spinning , 3.55's , 3k stall, heavy ass 305/50 Grapplers

............+ BOOST!!! (Chirps into second in 4WD too )

Damn! That's like a supercharged Ram time! Lol!

Congrats at getting your wheels off the ground.

Oops sorry bout that, I was thinking for a minute that you had a cc...

Great time! This was my best on my 09 with Superchips, S&B, 85mm TB, 3.92 and a 14" Magnaflow. Also where I live I am 5000ft above sea level. So that robs me of some power.

Thanks! Was that time in a cc or a regular cab?
