Funny DURAPAD Video

I watched my video again. If it's the same video, I was under the impression that this was a 1000ft track, not a 1/4 mile track...

Man, that's an oldie. :) Smoke inhibited ET, but correct speed. That was during testing in April of 2002. It was a 1/4 mile track (Las Vegas Motor Speedway's "The Strip"). It was fun though. :D

Awesome, so can you tell us what was done on the truck at that point?

Hmmm, well, 6700# race weight with about 1/2 tank and no driver. Had our Mega Mental injectors, H2E Hybrid turbo, Drag UFM, exhaust, gauges, full DTT trans (no billet though), 93% race converter, AFE airbox, 4" exhaust, ATS manifold, big fuel line and pusher pump kits, our 24v race nitrous kit and our cam.



The longblock was stock (head was never off), stock head gasket, not ported, stock pistons, rods, etc. 285/75/16 BFG A/T's and stock 3. 54 gearing.
 
Thanks for the info, Keith - that's really fast for single turbo!! Did you get any good ET's after this run? Just curious how it would do if the sensors weren't screwed up... Thanks, and nice truck.

Best we ever saw was a 11. 96 @ 111. That one was still suspect due to the timing system, but the truck was running very low 12's that day. Who knows. Bottom line, it beat everyone else at May Madness 02 - at the track and on the dyno. :D
