sweet times nick, get that converter or at least 3.73 and your times will drop. you MPH just like me 105 but i ran a 12.8. so that shows you got a 12 sec truck with the right gears and stall

can you elaborate on this? reason i ask is cause i went to HRP also friday and made 2 passes, after sitting in long *** lines, it really sucked, even though i had a heat issue IAT's were up to almost 200 degrees at launch, but managed to pull off a 11.95 pass, the truck felt like it hooked strong with a slight touch of spin, which was on the bead of the tire, BUT the run felt really slow
by the way great times, and waite until you can get a good converter

well like i said the first time i ran , i diddnt burnout or nothin , i had the cutout closed and it just spun i let off hit it again , spun , let off again then eased into it , it was like a 2,8 60 ft , and i still managed a 100 mph trap ,
the second run i opened the cutout , did a healthy burnout on these ****** 265/65/17's stalled ut to maybe 1k or less i cant remember , and took off, it diddnt spin or nothin it just went , u know ... like taking off but not crazy launch , ... i think the 3.42 gear helps me get up and move on top end , my 2-3 shift is 100 mph shifting at 6.500
even since charlie fine tuned it , its been running great , its amazing what that guy does ,
thanks charlie !

u get a converter then ur also gonna have to invest in some slicks cuz its gonna be way different on the launch imo u dont go to the track that much y waist money when ur already killin everyone on the streets u can already beat 12 sec trucks nd cars no need for a slip sayin u run 12s but idk nick thats just my opinion ur trucks runnin sik but then again a converter would also help u on ur 30 roll... idk.

nah its cool , yea i used the right lane when i spun my *** off and when i hooked i was in the left ... u ?
oh congrats on ur times too , wish i had that time
yea a converter is more of a want than a need right now , if i get a good deal on 1 ill get 1 but i dont really care , youre right jerry i already know wht the truck can do , it will only get me a better time AT the track and thats about it ... im just gonna leave it how it is for now , ...

both runs were in the right lane, looking over my logs i see i had some high IATs which probably caused my issues
