Lol. That one had a lot of error anyway, didn't give the right numbers.

Here in the next few weeks I am going to write up a spreadsheet that you can copy exported data into from HP Tuners that'll basically spit out a time slip based on scan data taken anywhere. It'll give everything from 60 foot times, 0-60, 1/8, 1/4, trap speeds, etc. So you wouldn't have to go to the track to see what it runs Only problem is the calculation goes to **** once the wheels break loose, so it would be mostly just for 4wd guys. Would have to filter out wheelspin error otherwise...that would be a pain in the ***. Can be done though..

Lol, it just makes sense. Nothing can touch these things on the street. I was at a street meet a couple weeks ago and they gave up trying to find someone to give my truck a run from a dig. Quickest dude there on bogart bigs and skinnies was several buses behind Pretty stupid what just the stock suspension and 4 turning tires can do.
