thanks guys.
Snake~ ya I cant wait for the truck nationals. I am not sure if it is heads up or bracket racing. I hope its heads up bc I will not have a lot of seat time with the new combo. Either way I want to see 11.99 flash up there on the time board.

11.99 boost only huh? Thats a pretty good goal. I hope to see some 11's too with spray, but that depends on wether or not the stock trany will even hold up to 1 all motor launch. I hope it does, but I'm not holding my breath. I figure the first 4000rpm launch i do that hooks, the tranny goes BOOM! I hope to have a few 1/8 runs with the ET Streets before i drive all the way to Epping.

Ya Snake. I want to see a 11.99 at truck nationals, but by August I want 11.5's. I want them to kick me out for no cage. That has been my goal since day one.

218/229 113LSA .560/.560

Your times are sweet! I hope i can come close to that. I am just so afraid the slicks wont hold with it stalling to nearly 4K.

The truck did run nose to nose from 25-100 with my old Z28 that ran 12.1@110, so if i can get off the line with a 1.6x i should do pretty good.

Snake~ What size/brand are you running??? My 28x11.5 used to get me 17 60',but they spun on the rim. I think that I am going to screw the tires this summer and get a new posi set up. I am hoping to see something like 1.6-1.64 60' this season.

I dont have any slicks yet but i plan on the 28x11.50 16's ET Streets. The way it takes off so violently at WOT i just dont know if they will hold it.
