the best the car has been at the track is 11.1 @ 123mph cutting 1.51 60' with old suspension, and pushing front street tires/wheels, getting loose in 3rd and 4th, should be mid 10s this year

Steve! Got a chance to see your ride at the Gregs Dyno this past weekend. Very impressive!

Glad your here and look forward to seeing your beast at the track.

thanks man, good to meet some of you, even though woulda been like we were in 2nd grade woulda been cool to go around and introduce everyone when we were there this weekend, instead of acting like we are all enemies on the street/track, haha

I hear ya on the "Click" thing. It seems everyone had the Evil eye

No worried....a frew more events mixing everyone together and it might get a little less akward.........maybe

haha yeah maybe, everyone wants to get that extra edge on everyone else, why some people at these events and at the track wont open their hood,, did get a comment this weekend (not being mean but) the ole boy was looking at my car and said "man ive never seen a turbo that was mounted on exhaust" i was like dude you need to do some reading but i think he doesnt know the difference between turbo and s/c

WOW!! I dont want that guy working on my car. But I have a set of 7.5 inch pistons I can sell him and a full Tri charger kit.

By the way, welcome to the Forum.

I love the younger kids that come up asking about your car and all they can spit out are fast and the furious questions

"you got NAWZZZ?" "You using Redline oil in that thing?" "How fast is it?" (never know how to answer this one...You mean 1/4 mile? 0-60? Top speed? They always want to know top speed...Im like I have 4.10 gears..not interested in top speed. They look at me like im crazy)

haha i get the same crap at the track, when i ran 11s at the mid america ford meet it was like they have never seen a car run that fast, had all kinds of people come up to the car asking about it, one kid asked me my CR i told him 12.5:1 asked me how much boost i said 4# haha,, i know that at one time we were those kids with questions and now i know why the older generation didnt want to answer them for me, haha

the younger generation right now is into that fast and furious crap, ive got to hand it to the supra guys they do have some pretty amazing cars from 60-140mph but when i say lets go from a dig or hell from 30mph roll up to 125mph they still wont do it, oh well

oh yeah really wanted to dyno my truck, prob woulda been 2nd to my stang

Whats the truck got? JEEBUS

That's just not fair! You should share a little of that hp/tq! Lol!

Can't wait to see the 'vert break into the 10's!

Def want to be there for that!

should break 10s first track day this year, looks like next day is the 28th,, not sure if i will come out though its my bday :)

as far as the truck just a plain jane 2008 F250 KR 4x4 CC with just a few select mods, prob put down 480hp and 1050tq, should run 13s easy

Now thats some TQ! (insert Tim the tool man Taylor grunt)

haha, nice!

its a blast to drive, i like sneaking up on non suspecting stangs maros vettes haha esp from a dig 4x4 launch at 25# hahaha

Oh ive been beat by a truck before...Im not going to lie.....turbo deisel...I forget what model but by God it ran an 11sec pass and looked like he just drove up from the farm.

My mouth dropped

prob my buddies 02 Dodge ext cab was grey with silver flames on it, 72#s of boost and 150 shot, not to mention injectors, turbo, chips, fuel hahaha, its a fun truck to run around in, can lay smoke for 1/4mile easy, prob some vids on my youtube under ruger311 of when i was almost stock

This one was red...and damn did it scoot

thats cool, always good to see the ole diesels representing,, not going to modify my new one to the point of no return for a long time, it might get a 100 shot or something but thats bout it

Welcome Steve! Glad to have ya over here. The vert was sounding mean on the Dyno.

thanks david, its pretty damn loud, cant even really hear the turbo over it when the pedal is to the floor, pretty fun though on the street, can def hear it a lot better on the road, fun to let the BOV off in someone elses window next to me on the hwy, hehe, bout shit their pants!

Welcome man! I love the way the car looks... all sleeper like. Then you start it and the race is over.

Ha thats good stuff.

haha, only a sleeper till i turn the key, thought bout putting on some mufflers but that would only cut down on power, rather just run the piss outta it and say GOODBYE, hehe

lol. I agree man.

hope to get a lot of track time in this year, the past two years ive ended up working on the car during the first part of the season so i missed out on a lot of ass time
