Re: Jeremys 12.29 run
It's just a six said:
Don't want to hear excuses why your truck ran slower.
Don't need a timeslipe to prove it, (unless you want to call people here liars) besides I really did not think much of running 12.29 it was not a big deal to me . Did it w/a Pitbull chip.
no, big dollar trans swap, not a cold night, no tons of alky,no alky period, & keeped it under 20 psi, not 27!!!!!
You are always trying to start something & I think it is really funny!!!
I am sorry you took my post as a slam. Didn't mean it that way. Your truck has ran good before. I was counting you in with the ones with a fast et slip. Obviously with a pitbull chip you have done a nice job "ghetto engineering a tune" to run a 12.29. But I am getting really tired of you hi-jacking any post about my truck.
Fact 1 truck ran a 12.27 at nats. 75+ degree weather, & KCIR is at 800' . plus it was threatning rain all weekend so I am sure the barometer was down. That being said if I had let the truck cool way down (I was hot lapping it, having fun) and did a big boost launch it would have ran 12.15 or so. Also all they have in KC is 91 octane down from 93 around my home. I won't even go into the fact that my wideband took a crap either.
Fact 2 you ran your time at pomona which runs 26' downhill!!! And is at around 250' uncorrected altitude. Been their, raced their, it was a performance advantage of about
.07 in my race car.
Fact 3 I have ran a 12.15 @ 110. In fact I did it three times that day at two diffrent tracks. I have 20+ time slips faster than your best of 12.29. BTW how many times did you run a 12.29? Was it a fluke?
Fact 4 I run 23-24 psi of boost. Not 27 psi.
Fact 5 The tranny swap cost less than $1000 for me. Less than one 700r4 rebuild. When you do things the right way and you do alot of it yourself, it doesn't cost that much. I would be afraid also to drive to nats with a 700R4 and run 10+ times at the track and give countless rides like I have done the past 2 years.
Fact 6 I use alky injection. A controlled method of reducing knock at high timing and high boost. You mix up a known cancer causing agent ,xyelene, and pour it in to your tank. Diffrent methods same result.
Fact 7 Tooky Cat has already ran in 11's with his stock motor, stock tranny, & stock
converter. Though it did break his 700R4 shortly thereafter .
See ya in the 11's.
