The entire 2 tenths was lost in the first 60ft.
After that, if I remember right we used to figure 10hp was worth a tenth, but that was with a car that weight a reasonable amount, like 1/2 to 1/3 what your truck weighs.
So, if you lose 2 tenths in the first 60ft in a truck , you've probably got to have at least 40 if not 60hp to make it back up

Hahahahahaha dude u don't have a clue about Alberta and making a wage there. Iv lived in Alberta since 1996 so iv paid my dues thank you. Also all my co workers live outside the province as well. Weather sucks in Alberta and even the ppl living there say it sucks.

I can live in this beautiful place and do it on a single income so really poverty wages mean jack to me.

You wanna live in Alberta that's cool but ill stick to BC where it's nice and still make an Alberta wage.

Trap speed under similar conditions is indicative of power.... not et. He gained 0.8 mph with a 300' increase in d.a. So... not a heck of a lot if anything. Generally your mph will increase slightly with wheelspin and of course a slower et and 60'. It's hard to say but he really gained absolutely nothing.

Cool story. Thanks for sharing. You are right though as I really don't know about "making a wage" . It's been a few years since I thought about doing that. I pay myself in dividends... and taxation wise it works out in my favor. I do pay my employees in wages though of course so I suppose I could ask them..... not that they would complain.....

Have you changed spark plugs?, you might be blowing out spark and that may be why you are not seeing MPH, if you want to pick up a couple of tenths try one of our Y-Pipes. They are good for 2tenths and 2mph in the 1/4mile.

You incrementals are two tenths off the whole way with a marginal mph gain. Did you try to leave the same both times? seems like the truck ran exactly the same. As some one before said MPH is indicative of power. Even with a poor ET, a good mph will tell you that the truck is making power. Seems like you might have something mechanically wrong.

Spark plugs are two weeks old! Gapped at 028.
I found out that the corrected elevation was 4200-4200 ft from an old school racer out there
