Video of the event, but sadly, no action of Julien's. 2011 Truckin' Throwdown | Videos

EDIT: Got a few seconds in this one! 2011 Truckin' Throwdown | Videos 2 And they love that little yellow S10; I would not consider that a truck, I'm not even sure it was ever a truck, looks like a tube chassis with a fiberglass body.

Curious, why was your 1/4 mile ET so bad julien? I know the article said you were still messing with tuning, but when it says RWHP with a 13 sec 1/4 mile next to it, it looks funny lol.

I haven't seen the magazine yet but as to why the 1/4 mile ET was low... I had the rev limiter set to 4500 rpms. We weren't able to figure out why it was backfiring above those RPM's prior to the event and the VE tables in the upper RPM's also weren't addressed due to time constraints. I forget exactly but the truck made around 340rwhp the day of the event.

Will definitely check those out when I get home. There's another video floating around from the husband of the girl with the SRT8. He has alot more vids of me in his video.

I forgot to put it in my post, but I'm almost positive they had your RWHP listed at 800.
