First true 1/4 mile runs

First true 1/4 mile runs
My first run at HRP weighing 4930lbs, with a full tank of gas... I ran a 13.66 at 100.9mph with a 2.023 60'. The second run I made got me a 13.60 at 100.2 with a 2.006 60'. Im bone stock of course...

This was at Houston Raceway Park, temp was around 56 or so, and the track was ok.

What year do you have

 

[MadNess]

2001 why?

2001 why?

Probably because it's a "vital" piece of info that people usually look for. The 01's and 02's (that have some miles already) should be a tenth or two quicker.

 

[MadNess]

sure what ever dude...

How many miles on your truck?? How were you launching?? Just to give you a comparison....my 01 ran 13.40 at 104.5 mph in bad traction...2.07 0-60 ft. in similiar conditions...temps in the 50's. My truck had 1500 miles on it.

Good run - I'll prob be down there in the next few weeks if theres some cool (preferably cold) weather. shooting for 12's.

Madness,

You could have ran around a tenth quicker with a 1/4 tank instead of a full tank of gas. Every 100 lbs. of weight you lose is worth a tenth of a second. Something to think about.

Was just asking i just bought a 2002 and have been looking on here for what some people have done to them and some times they have ran

 

[MadNess]

yea, I was not meaning to run with a full tank, I had to buy gas that morning, and another HALO member, BigBob called and said lets do HRP.... I was like sure!, DOH! I just bought gas! ah well... so really it would have been about a 13.5 or so

there is always a trade off.......I go to the track with 3/4 tank(because of octane boost mix) of gas...I get better weight transfer and better E.T's..But thats my approach....Yu may gain on top side but yu'll lose on bottom and Walla a Trade-off...............................................Yu are probably where yu should be,,,Mid to high 13's seem to be the norm....Good E.T's keep it up
