i just had my 4l80e rebuilt with several nice additions and initially had a revmax 3400 lockup in it but i will never go down that road again....there stall isnt half what they advertise. my new motor has a comp 5.88/5.93 294/306 cam in it and wont idle in gear unless i idle it at 1200+ which is rediculous!! im fixing to order a new 4000 stall from one of this sites sponsors and be done with it!! i just installed a 4.56 before i had my trans built and i will say that you gonna love it!! these heavy trucks need that lil extra kick in the *** that the 4.56 gives it...haha

I hate buying parts twice don't you.this sat. I'll be back at the track with the gears and 1050 carb and maybe my 10.80 pass.

 

Still on for Saturday ?

 

Still on for sat. Carb is on gears are in and my front skinnies will be on in the morning.I'll pick it up tommarrow night and be ready for sat. And sun.

I have 2 nephews with 2011 5.0 F150's that run high 10's one with a roush that has run 10.93@122 and the other went 11.20@120 but just upped his hp to 650 rwhp and should be around 10.70's so we should have some fun.

 

Hot damn...what a fun time that will be. Get some vids !!!!

 

Good news bad news,good news when my guy pulled my rear apart it turned out to be a 3.23 gear and that helps explain why it wad lazy the first 20' and in high gear.the bad news,crossing the traps at 5200 with a 28" tire and going to a 4.56 might have put me over my 6200-6500 window that I want to cross at.So I bought a set of 30" MT slicks today and tommarrow I'll be at cecil county MD and see what happens.all in all to run 11.20's with a 3.23 gear makes me happy!

 

low 11's on that gear is very impressive!! i run the mt 315-60-15 drag radials on mine with a 4.56 rear but have yet to get back and make a pass with it. hope your new tire size and gear gets that 10 second pass for ya!!

 

Thanks,hopefully one of my buds will get some videos because I'm going alone.Tonight when I get home I'll post up my times.

 

Excuses excuses and here they go,I got to cecil unloaded the truck and drove it up and down the pits and it felt awesome.So much power my smile was from ear to ear so when they called us up I did my burn out and then 1 dry hop and it felt like it was gping to leave the earth.I pulled up to the tree and man was I excited when the lights came down I nailed it and pow she took off like a rocket.Then 10' out it broke traction I lifted and nailed it a 2nd time and I felt something when it grabbed and a vibration started.I then shifted second and was just going for high when BOOM the driveshaft blew and came right out of the truck about 500' feet out.I coasted all the way Down the track since I didnt see smoke or oil.
I knew i could coast to the end.Sure enough it broke the driveshaft and I'll have a new stronger 4" shaft on tuesday and be at the track on weds.
It pulls the front wheels up and feels so strong I can't wait for a full pass.

 

I hate to hear that. You'll get that pass buddy!
