Hey Isn't that like the 2nd or 3rd fastest truck in the country. I know Hoover so far has the fastest @ 9.004 but 9.77 that has got to be the 2nd or 3rd fastest time. Someone out there needs to confirm this time as to where he stands in the rankings.
Good Luck Ed hopefully next week or by next month you can chip it off some more.
Thanks Ralph

hey Ed, congrats.. time to update your sig! how much boost, and by chance have you dyno'd your motor? Curious how much power these AWD motors are actually making to go mid 9s. i'm guessing 650-700 rwhp.? keep it up.

Re: 9.77 @ 140.66
look at the top of this link, bump every one down one line.
http://www.syty.net/forums/timeslips.php?
mike using the formulas for et and weight and or et and mph its in the low 800's . couple things to note about this.
current weight which will change is 3850 with me in it.
only making 19 psi and leaving at low boost to the point of walking off the line.
no timing in it yet either. why we havent done anything yet.... read on
last night was a test to help me get my confidence back since removing the lockright from the front dif.
out of 16 runs
1 sideways full sideview of truck
two launches headed for the right wall.
6 launches headed for the center line (only crossed it once)
(1 of these aborted runs allmost took out the photograher)
need less to say when you start out with a 50 - 50 chance of not going straight it can mess your mental confidence up (read this as scare the crap out of you). It was getting to the point where 2 x i lifted as a involuntary reflex with out any reason to lift. not the mental state you want to be in.
Imagine being afraid to run the left lane because of going left violently...
word of caution to others, if you have a lockrite in your front dif and you want to go fast, remove it. at these power levels it became downright violent and dangerous launching and you could not drive thru it like you could at lower power levels.

Great run Ed. Really nice and straight. Truck didn't even look like it was working hard. You've got alot more in it. Have fun finding and controlling the beast within!!!
Let me know when you are going to Atco again - I'll come out to watch again.

Re: 9.77 @ 140.66
knowing what i know now ... I would not recommend it.
if you read above how many runs i had to abort and consider that an aborted run either was a close call or could have become one, that slpit second decision to get out of it being made a hundreth of a second to late could become disastorus.
last night a fellow racer commented about how violent past runs he had seen appeared.
It had reached a point where harry 2x told me it had become to dangerous to drive.
I say a prayer before the 1st run of the day asking to be safe.
so if you plan on using one anyway, i suggest you start doing the same thing as matt & I do. Otherwise take it out or dont put it in.
