Pitt vs GTR
well guys, got my azz stomped by a GTR @ Gainesville Raceway last weekend. The vid may show up somewhere. He had a silver one with a door camera. Dude was from Colimbia and had a 3 foot pony tail and almost no-speaka-english. Actually a nice guy.
I was there to tune my tranny and it was my first run. I pulled him out of the hole and then my damn truck wouldn't shift to second. I let up a hair and she shifted, but he jumped me a length at least. Then he gained on me very slowly all the way. We had almost 20 mph head wind so my truck windshield was like a boat sail ! He ran an 11.2 and I ran only a 12.44. My best has been 11.17 & 11.18 so it would have made a great vid if my truck had performed.
Back this Sunday to try again. Tranny is almost set to go.

yea that would have been sweet if your truck was running perfect. you still going for 10's this season? what tranny?
Actually hope this Sunday is payday for a ten. Supposed to be in the 50's all day and dry air. I was told to try slamming it to the floor with hot Hoosier slicks at 13psi. Gonna see what happens because I just roll out of the hole now. Tranny is a 4L60. I'm only pumping out 465/450 tq so it should hold up.
EDIT. how do you get a hold of Pete Incaudo to get a cam speced?

I'm running a K - Concepts 4-link not really designed for drag racing but with the addition of QA1 shocks it works great. If I can get the slicks to hold, watch for a sixty foot in the 1.4's. I will need a good track prep.
Man, I don't know. I am just a lucky *** with my set up. I haven't even started adjusting the shocks yet. They are just set on max soft and I roll out and mash the peddal. Here is a vid of a roll out.
