doug keeps telling me that mine will run 13's with his race tune if i can get it down to 8k lbs which wouldn't be hard

not bad #'s.

btw...i read your other thread about your dyno. I used a calculator and it spit out 409 hp at the wheels (assuming 8000 lbs) which is probably a whole lot closer to what you're putting down. as they say...the track never lies. now put some injectors in and let it rip

this is true, my setup before 190s gave me 434RWHP spraying a 50/50 mixture of meth and got me a 13.99 on the track

You still have a small margin for growth. A 13.99 is possible but you gotta get the perfect launch

EDIT: For the record i pull 1.7 60's easily and its a smooth take off. I launch at 20 psi. Hell i could build even more boost if i wanted to but then things get squirrelly off the line so there's no point. And I've never had a problem with the truck pushing through the brakes, yet I hear about guys having that issue

i push through my brakes at anything over 15 psi

 

[SIX_OHH]

With what turbo/injectors?

 

[Sniper32]

Stock injectors and turbo

Silverback- like i said if i try to launch at anything over 12psi i get a lot of front end hop...is there a way to fix that or is it just an issue with oversized off road tires?

 

[SIX_OHH]

I meant stroke of luck....whats injectors/turbo. My brakes feel like they could hold 190s

he is running 190s and pmax. I held 20psi just fine with mine... it would hop bad at that psi tho. I normaly left at 17psi

I can practically stand on the throttle and it won't push through the breaks...maybe my larger tires and weight helps? Hard to say, maybe you have a pad/rotor issue or even an issue with the hydraulics?

 

[SIX_OHH]

Stroke of luck fix your brakes lol. Topic at hand. How can we launch harded?

I'm running 37" MTs and 22s so that can't be it, what rpm are you leaving the line at?

 

[Cutting-Edge Diesel]

lower psi in tires and strap the front end.

 

[SIX_OHH]

285 75 16...what psi? Been running 55 cause i had no idea what is best. Strap the fron end? Like the axles and frame duramax style? How bout the rear till i get traction bars?

 

[Cutting-Edge Diesel]

I ran 40 in the front and 35 in the rear. I dont know whats best I havent played around with it much. I haven't tried it but some people put a ratchet strap over the frame and the front control arm and suck it down.

2100 RPM gives me about 12psi and a smooth launch...anything higher and im hoping.

Guess my next time ill have to try straping the front end and droping the tire psi bcs i pretty sure its still around 60

 

[Sniper32]

OK yall as you know Im a newb at drags...i understand the concept of strapping the front end down, but how exactly do you strap it? do you run a ratchet strap from the leaf springs to the frame on both sides?

 

[Cutting-Edge Diesel]

oh my bad I was talking about a 05 newer truck... I dont know about a leaf sprung truck

Frame to axles?
