Ran The Truck For The First Time
I got about 7 runs in, it was ok, i hate 1/8th mile racin to short.
best ET is 9.99 at 71.78mph in the 1/8th and calculated thats about 15.55 at 89.72mph in the 1/4, with trans problems. so yes im slow, but i am faster then the same truck tested with motor trend heres their numbers.
15.8 @ 89.1 about 300 pounds lighter then me.
If i remove the tail gate, rear cover, spare tire, speaker box, and drop down to 16" rims, i should hit 14.7 to 14.9 range. I am happy if i get that on a bare bone truck

Used the bottom table for the conversion and double checked it with another site.
