Well it was good to see a bunch of you that I knew and good to meet ap2002, and 1slow01Z71... I can't post any new personal bests.... I think I fried a n2o relay... have not really figured it out yet, but it was an all motor nite... Hell if I had known that I coulda just run my street tires... I lose a couple of tenths or 3 running them on motor as they do not help my 60's BUT my truck was more consistant that it had ever been.... my first run was 14.24 and my last was a 14.17..... sorry bout the red lite ap2002, your truck runs much better than mine on top... your truck was closing that gap at the finish. MAN I NEED A WAY TO TUNE!!!! it was really funny first run I left at idle and got a 2.059 60' and the 2nd run I left at 1800 and got a 2.059 60'!!!!! WTF???? No spin whatsoever except going into second...
IT was WAY to dam busy..... perhaps we can go again when it will be less busy.... oh yea, what the hell happened to the instant green..... that is all I have been doing for a long time, had not realized how rusty on the tree I have gotten...

I didn't see you at all after that actually.
Did your spare tire holder come down?? Mine didn't. I blame you for it too!!
You just had to line it up to go right into that hole huh! LOL.
Man, I struggled for about 30 min trying to get that thing down. The cable part came down, but the actuall bracket was stuck up in there. It never came down.
Will take it to dealership in the morning. Not sure what's wrong with it.
Let me know when you want to get Allen to tune that thing for you.
See ya soon.

No such luck. It's just unreal. I'm letting the dealership fool with it in the morning. Warranty item anyhow.Thanks for the compliment. Your truck is nice looking as well. It may have some miles on it, but it looks good still. You should have ran it. I could have let you use my number. LOL. You have a good set-up to mod on. You need to give it a breeze of laughing gas to see what it can do at the track.
I may be going that route.
After seeing that other VHO go 12.50's with a 100 shot.... I just have to give it a try.
Guess the LQ9 motors like a cold blast of NO2.
Hope to see you around again. nice meeting you.

Yeah, I should have ran it at least once. I have never raced this truck. I don't have any mods worthy, but it would be nice to know what it'll do. I've been "babying" it, 135k miles and stills drives like the day I bought it. I worry about blowing my tranny. Oh well, the weather is going to get cooler and there's always next time. I also need some pointers for "take-off".

Brandon, it was nice meeting you. I love the way you've done your truck. It's freakin' clean!!! I hate to admit it, but I'll probably copy your wheels. Those SS look awesome, but I might still get a set of American Racing Maxims. I need to save up and get that Hotchkis kit and get rid of that "4WD" look it has now.
