    Thank you man. We both were running stock boost tho. I had it at 9psi but it was just way too gutless for me so i put it back up to 12psi lol. I just wish I could have got my reaction time down and that it was a colder day/or at night like when rajzswap went to the strip. I had to let my truck cool down between runs just cuz it was hating the 80 degree weather.

For some reason my sisters gay blackberry phone will only let her upload the videos to Youtube but will not let her email them. So going to upload them tonight.

    Quite alot of talking man. Tell her I just turned 18. j/k j/k
    Those slicks would significantly improve acceleration. You already have the battery relocated to the bed right?

    Nice. plenty to do to make a mini hook to the track.

    would it be better for the truck if it were lower?


    and she dipped out as in the sister?
    lol, pull the EFI fuse from her vehicle. it won't be going anywhere.

    hahaha! Nam :) bad boi you.

    Lower would not make the difference in traction its a matter of weight transfer. with slicks and the front shocks set to there drag 1 click setting, it should make a big difference. Moving the battery farther back would help a little but not worth the efforts.

    This next weekend we should test those slicks that I have and mess with the settings, see if I can make that baby hook :)

    2.5 60ft !!!!!! :eek: Yeah we need like a 1.7 60 ft. At that trap speed, a low 13 is where it should be running with a good launch.

    Yeah! get the slicks! yeah!
    What size slicks are they?

    Haha I didn't do anything wrong :D

    I'm going to install a carbon GT wing in the bed... get that baby some downforce by the time you grab 2nd and 3rd gears.
