Stab it and steer it
Outside. Two passes, one vid. Watch the front end rise on the first one.

Fairly long but....
A year ago, Dec '13, I posted this. It was an 11 sec run. I was bit surprised but happy. Got some well appreciated compliments.
Regardless, I had always thought that that run was bit of a fluke.
Brief history. All last year I was having trouble pinpointing reason(s) for the truck just not performing at the track. Fine on the street but full throttle - full load at the far end not so much. Worked with Eric, changed ign modules, two ign wire changes. All for naught.
After the first track day of the year a few weeks ago still no difference. Couldn't hardly get the truck to run in the upper 12's. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. Order and install some actual "race" plug wires. I notices the difference immediately. Could not wait to get to the track today.
Here's the first slip of the day:
Every other slip (5 of them, 6 total) are also a 11 sec slips. The best run was the first above. The worst was 11.902 elimination run. Also the last run of the day.
Right now I can't post the DMs. I will get to that. But all were very close to 19# of boost on 91 pump gas. Spraying meth. Believe it or not the worst knock retard was on the slip above. As I pulled spark and adjusted fuel the truck slowed. I don't think it was false knock because I could see the retard go away to virtually 0 as I changed things.
I was thinking that I could dump in some race gas add a tad of spark and break 11.5.:rotf:
Anyway a fun and very gratifying day. Went three rounds, loosing the third, on a weekend race. Very cool. Much more competitive here on the weekends. Truck is consistent now where it wasn't anything close last year. A little more work and it'll be a real bracket truck.
I wish to publicly thank Eric at TurboTweak for his help last year. I suspect I tried his patience a bit.
