Here is my best time going into a headwind today. Never did get real good traction. Only a CAI and 5-Star tune; otherwise, completely stock ... including exhaust ... not bad I'd say for a 4x4.

60' - 2.118
1/8 - 9.05 @ 78.54
1/4 - 14.030 @ 98.68 mph

Next time out will be without the spare and tailgate. Hopefully, the track will be prep'd better with no steady 20-30 mph wind coming at me. I'll be looking for mid 13's, which is 13.750-13.251. 13.7's sounds good in a 4x4.

Damn Man. That's impressive.

Thanks a lot Fx4 5.0Man. Appreciate it kindly. I couldn't seem to hook up quite well enough on the street tires. Think I'm gonna' order some traction bars or ladder bars before I go back out.

I thought you had the boss on there? Or am I thinking of somebody else?

Geez, how you gettin' this down the track?

Got an ole' 442 that will hit 60 in 5.2 and the 1/4 in 13.4 just because I have NO traction. I go more than 1/2 way to the floor out of the hole I just sit there broiling the tires. That's with an Olds BB with estimated 400+HP and 500+lb.ft.. Never dyno'd - just by the way it's built. But, I don't want to change the stock look so it is what it is.

Still fun though . . .

That's real good numbers what kinda motor u running? I saw in a mag before I got my truck that they were in the 15s witch I thought was real good since I was runnig that in my old vr6 gti

Nah, that's Boss5.0. He ran a best of 13.09 in a 4x2 RCSB identical to my 4x4.




That's a good question. I've Mustang's out-dyno the LS1/LS6 Firebirds and Camaro's by 50-75 RWHP/RWTQ and get beat by them consistently over the years.

I did get a pretty good 2.141.60' with the tires at 35 psi on my first run. Dropped the psi down to 22 psi and it took me 6 runs to finally beat that time. My 7th and final run was a 2.118 60' time.

I think my street tires cup in the middle when dropped that low. Hell, I used to run MT drag radials at 14 psi on my race car. Yank P/T 4400 stall converter with 440 RWHP/427 RWTQ.

5.0L motor. I do have a CAI and 5-Star tune. Keeping her like that until next time out at the track when I'll drop the tailgate and spare tire/wheel ... go out when there's no headwind and see how far in the 13's I can get.

Plans for this summer include traction bars, replacement of my 100% factory exhaust with 1 7/8" ARH LT headers and single catback, and some cheap lighter wheels with drag radials for the track. That should put me in the 12's.

Never happen!

Ford4me2

Gotta ask. What kinda MPG you gettin down the track? JK Great numbers man!

jeb99ta

Thanks Ford4me2 ... you from around Roane County by chance?

There are several running better times than I am here. Wife didn't go out with me yesterday to video, but, I'll post up my timeslip after work today I do have a video and timeslip from the last time out to the track, which proves it so.

You'll never see a 14.0 video from me 'cause next time I'm removing the tailgate and spare wheel/tire. You WILL see my video of at least 13.8's, though.
