Got the opportunity to run my truck wednesday night at Cecil. After running a best of 11.5@118. The start of winter prevented any more progress. I changed a few things over the winter including bigger pulley and intercooler resevour, and also took out some weight.
The weather was to be cool and fairly dry, so I drove 220 miles to Md. and prepped the truck for racing. I installed grill block offs, slicks and had run down there on some lighter fronts(not quite skinnys). I ran cooling fans and ived the intercooler. Went into the staging lanes with temps in the mid 50s. Some moisture building, and a slight head/crossing wind. Got to the box and heated them up good.
The run started with a noticable amount of tire spin, but it pulled real strong through the midrange. Ran it out through the traps thinking it was a pretty good pass. I could not believe the results when I got the slip. It read [email protected]!!! I was expecting, or hoping for 11.4@120. Needless to say I was thrilled with the #s.
Thank you to Team JDM for the solid foundation. The truck runs flawlessly and is exactly where I wanted it to be. The MP blower although bashed by some is proving to be a good choice. The tune on the truck is a very mild race tune. I will be stepping up the tune soon, but also adding a nitrous kit.
I also wanted to thank everyone who has helped with advice along the way, both online and at the track.
