Been a bit, got red back to the 1/4. 9s on boost!

Foose04 · 02-09-2015, 12:41 AM

Copied from my PT.net post as i'm a lazy SOB. Going to try to get a clean pass in next weekend still off the

Pretty excited about the new best 1.45 60!

I wanted to go 9s on boost with this girl. I got it done, but there a lot more left. After a day of small issues to include a broken computer screen, I managed to get 1 decent pass in, but still had a shifting issue. Log confirmed it, with a 6400@117 MPH second gear shift. (my 2nd hits the limiter of 7200 at around 110) So I did 1-3-4 9.91 pass.

Anyways, nailed a 3500 2-step with around 10-11psi, damn thing felt awesome. Truck is same weight at 4580, only took a little off the rear struts. Same Cal-trac setup and 295 m/t DR's.

Video's inside and out, with a couple pics of my buddy Nicks truck that was running strong at 11.1 on a stock 5.3. :usa:

Nice! Congrats Rob!

RoadconeTuning · 02-09-2015, 09:27 AM

i still want to shoot this heap!

Bradleyrj · 02-09-2015, 10:44 AM

That is not bad. Not bad at all. Oh yeah, thats right. Its a truck HOLEEEEYYYY SHIT dude that's moving! If you could get some weight out that would be a friggin rocket. But I bet its still a ton of fun at the weight it is.

Red99T/A · 02-09-2015, 11:15 AM

That's awesome!! Whats the next goal? Trapping 150?

Foose04 · 02-09-2015, 12:00 PM

Thanks guys, Id like to see what it does with a clean pass. I'd expect to pick up 2-3mph out the back as it sits and a couple 1/10s. I just need to nail another 60 like that to match it with.. I'm starting to be believer with more tweeks and a another psi or two or a faithful 50 pill back on a a 9.5 could be within reach.. Maybe. Lol

Whaler · 02-09-2015, 04:42 PM

Rob, that's awesome and the engine sound is like music.

BIRDMAN · 02-09-2015, 05:43 PM

Frickin awesome man, great job.

Carlrx7 · 02-09-2015, 07:09 PM

BOOOYYYAAA!!!, still 9's! I wonder if it could be the shifter not getting it into 2nd? looks like you almost had the shifter through the dashboard!

454rat · 02-09-2015, 07:40 PM

Congrats! If your not a believer of an LS on boost, your living under a rock.

1SMKN99 · 02-10-2015, 10:13 AM

Haha, yeah i'm actually going to inspect all the linkage stuff on the 80 before next time out. That was a damn good 60 that got away.

It's got about 50k miles on that B&M megashift, original cable as well. I missed 3rd gear the day before at Bowman.

Anyone know life span of these items? I'm guilty in saying it's never been taking apart and lubed. =/

DIGGLER · 02-10-2015, 11:33 PM

ditch the megashifter. they are cool in their own way, but once you use a good shifter you'll realize what you've been missing.
btw the truck is still bad as hell.

I agree with you 100%.

Rob I cant believe you actually shift it, you know you cant out shift a computer lol.

BigdaddyDupree · 02-11-2015, 09:46 PM

That's one thing that sucks about going manual valve body.

TLyons90 · 02-12-2015, 12:27 AM

Congrats! Truck just keeps getting better and better and quicker and quicker!

Foose04 · 02-12-2015, 07:56 PM

Well I made some adjustments on the B&M. Thinking about going Darlington Sunday, any locals going?

454rat · 02-14-2015, 08:05 PM
