Well I just got home from the drag strip. The truck motor had it's first drag strip outting. I only ran it to the 1/8 mile mark as it developes a rather severe vibration in the chassis around 95-100mph. I have some chassis tuning to do and need to have the convertor tightened up quite a bit. It's stalling at the hp peak,(5900) rather than the torque peak, (4800).
All in all it was a successful first outting, it ran a 6.53 in the 1/8. The truck picked the front wheels up 6-8" on launch but then wanted to go to the left out of the groove and would spin a bit until I was able to wrestle it back into the goove. I believe there is a few tenths left I can knock off once I get everything straightened out. Dave
