Those are very nice runs. Sounds like you're getting some spin. (On the imbedded vid no on the YouTube yes so not sure) Anyway if you're getting spin my experience says don't launch quite so hard and your 60's will actually improve. Remember my experience only. Nice setup, glad to see it do so well!

Yeah Don, that's what i'm gonna do. The trip to the track before this one I ran a 1.59 60' on a fairly easy launch. The other night the first pass was a 1.60, then as the sun went down and I turned up the boost a bit it started getting slick. Really thinking about going to a track rental with Harry Anderson at Atco raceway and seeing if we can dial it in a little better....Thanks for the compliments and the advice.

Congratuations on seeing your build at the track with some very impressive times!
There are very few owners nowdays who have the patience, contacts, money (unfortunately)
time and energy to do what you have accomplished. Have fun with it, and thanks for sharing.

I'm sure it has more in it and Harry will be the man to help you find it? What are you using for a boost controller? Do you have something that you can ramp it in so your not hitting all the boost off the line? Truck looks great and great job

Thanks again guys for the compliments. Anyone who was around while this thing was in the build stage knows how much of a pita it was to get done. I almost lost my motivation, but now it's all paying off.....finally having some fun with it.

I'm using the Bs3 to control the boost. Yes I have full control over the ramp rate, just haven't messed with it at all yet. Really just starting to get a feel for the truck at the track now, so I will start making adjustments soon.
Got a lot going on with work right now so it might be a few weeks till I can get back to the track.

Have you ever compared your AWD times with 2WD times on the same day (on a sticky track by removing the propshaft) and staging with slicks/drag radials?

Hey Larry, No haven't tried that yet. I have a few things I'm gonna mess with the next time out. I really think getting some heat in the tires will help my 60' a ton. If not I may experiment with some other type of tire. Maybe some MT et street bias ply tires on the stock 16' wheels. I would have gone with those from the beginning, but I wanted to drive to the track and not change tires. Not doing that on bias plys. Right now i'm running MT et street drag radials.....
